This is a nice way of keeping the memory of Peter Hofmann alive and honouring the work he did for TSG," explained Hofmann's successor and long-time friend Kristian Baumgärtner. Renaming the street, which is often mentioned in a national context as the address of both the club headquarters and the Dietmar-Hopp-Stadion, is a good solution." The request was unanimously approved by the local council in Hoffenheim. 

This means that there will now be two changes of address: the "Fairplay" accommodation building, previously Silbergasse 43, is now Peter-Hofmann-Weg 1, while the stadium building, formerly Silbergasse 45, is now located at Peter-Hofmann-Weg 3. 

TSG shareholder Dietmar Hopp is also pleased about the tribute being paid to his long-time companion. "As a Hoffenheim native, Peter Hofmann had been with TSG and helped shape its path for many years from player to first chairman. I'm delighted he is now to receive this deserved honour and that his name will continue to be spoken on a regular basis." 

Sinsheim mayor Jörg Albrecht and local administrator Karlheinz Hess declared: "TSG have lost a great person in Peter Hofmann. The fact we're now naming a street in his hometown after him is a nice way of remembering and honouring Peter Hofmann."
