A recerence on the internet (Deutschen Bund for April 1857) suggests Hugo Adalbert may from Berlin and was arrested for criminal activity.
However, another "Biographical Information" reference with a matching date of birth has:
Dittmer, Hugo Adalbert Dittmer, Hugo Adalbert
Date of birth: 29/05/1826
Place of birth: [?] Strasburg (West Purssia)
04/05/1840 inclusion in the Latin School in Halle.
This second reference shows Hugo Adalbert Dittmer was well educated, which is consistent with him having a sucessful career as a shipping merchant. However, both Strasbourg (on the SW border with France) and Halle, in East Germany near Leipzig are a long way from Hamburg (in the North), where the 1871 UK census had his birthplace.

General Notes
Hugo Adalbert lived in Berlin with his mother. He was a businessman, but his company failed in 1857.
A reference on the internet (Deutschen Bund for April 1857) suggests Hugo Adalbert was from Berlin and was arrested for criminal activity, which may explain why he came to Manchester, England (where there was a thriving silk industry).
I cant find a UK marriage for Hugo and Henrietta, so probably married in Germany before 1861 (he arrived in England before 1861).
In 1881 he is desribed as a silk merchant, and on other census records as a merchant or shipping or commision agent.
Adalbert was a widower in 1901, living at 307 Wilmslow Road, South Manchester. He was a Silk Merchant Shipper, Commision Agent (employer) and a nationalised British Subject. He had his daughter Alice and two domestic servants, Mary Wyatt (25), cook and Louis Williams (21), housemaid also living there.
