Haneberg, Daniel Bonifacius bishop of Spires, was born June 16, 1816, at Tanne, Bavaria. He studied at Munich, was priest in 1839, and commenced his academical career in 1840. In 1850 he entered the newly founded Benedictine monastery of St. Bonifacius, at Munich, and was made abbot in 1854. In 1861 he went to Algiers and Tunis, and in 1864 to Jerusalem. In 1868 he was called to Rome as consulter of the Romish congregation for Oriental rites, and at the same time to take part in the preparations for the Vatianm Council.
