Born in Bonn, Hacke was born in 1973 as the son of the political scientist Christian Hacke [ de] in Bonn.

Ein Beitrag zur Ideengeschichte des Nationalsozialismus und der "Konservativen Revolution". Subsequently, Hacke was a research assistant in the "Theorie der Politik" department of the "Politikwissenschaft Online" project funded by the Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung until 2003 and a research assistant at the Institute for Social Sciences at the Humboldt University until 2008. In 2005, Hacke was awarded a doctorate in political science under the direction of Herfried Münkler.

Hacke's dissertation Philosophy of Citizenship, which was published in a second edition in 2008, was awarded the Wolf-Erich-Kellner-Preis [ de] and the Friedwart Bruckhaus-Förderpreis [ de] of the Hanns Martin Schleyer Foundation. ^[4] Andreas Rödder [ de] discussed the dissertation in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and emphasised that it is a "classical history of ideas in its best, reflected sense, whose potential for knowledge Hacke impressively demonstrates in practical application". ^[5]
