Hofbauer began his career as an assistant director in 1950 with Der keusche Adam. His first film as a director was a sequence of the Austrian anthology filmAuch Männer sind keine Engel. Hofbauer's next film was a Krimi film Case 33: Antwerp in 1964 that he also wrote. He worked steadily in a variety of popular genres of the international co-productions of the time, musicals with Vivi Bach such as Holiday in St. Tropez and Tausend Takte Übermut, a Sauerkraut WesternBlack Eagle of Santa Fe, a Eurospy film Red Dragon, then moving to adult films with The Fountain of Love and Black Market of Love both in 1966; the latter with a screenplay by Hofbauer. During the early 1970s, in Munich, Hofbauer teamed with Walter Boos, Wolf C. Hartwig and Ludwig Spitaler to produce the original thirteen films under the banner Schulmadchen Report ; the stories were adapted from books written by Günther Hunold, while Günther Heller composed the film script, Klaus Werner did the camera work, and the music was handled by Gert Wilden & Orchestra. Hofbauer and Boos were referred to as the 'Titans of Teen Libido'. The films were classified as 'sexploitation', and were extremely popular, seen by more than 30 million people all over the world. In the United States, the films were released in grindhouses and drive-ins, and the names of the films were changed to conform to American standards. Because the films focused on young girls who may have been under legal age in this country, the Schoolgirl Report series was eventually suppressed.
