After a goalless first half, which saw Morten Gamst Pedersen pick up an injury, Rovers boss Paul Ince made a host of substitutions with Robbie Fowler coming on for his Rovers debut.
And it was Hoffenheim who took the lead six minutes into the second half when Christoph Janker followed up after Jason Brown saved a header.
Benni McCarthy's 63rd-minute volley drew Rovers level but two minutes later Matthias Jaissle's header just squeezed beyond Brown to give the Germans the lead again.
And in the final minute Janker grabbed his second to ensure victory for Hoffenheim.

"Give Ince a Blank Cheque like RA gave to JM and Blackburn will be title contender. Why not give Ince sometime? SAF need many years to bring success to ManU."
