Hilarios Karl-Heinz Ungerer (born 1941 in Nuremberg) is a Free Catholic Church in Germany bishop in Munich,[1] though he ministered through other independent European churches.[example needed] Ungerer was a co-consecrator along with Bishop Roberto Garrido Padin of Bishop Rómulo Antonio Braschi in 1998, who ordained a group of women known as the Danube Seven in 2002.

History

In 1967, Ungerer was ordained as a priest in the independent Catholic church movement in Germany twice, and was consecrated as a bishop several years later.[2][a]

Ungerer opened a storefront church in Munich. In 1976, he became part of the German branch of the Mariavite Church,[citation needed] On 6 October 1976 Ungerer was consecrated sub conditione as a bishop by Mariavite Bishop Norbert Maas, but on 8 August 1978 he was separated from that association.

Since then Ungerer has led the Free Catholic Church in Germany, considered to be a German expression of the independent Brazilian Catholic Apostolic Church.[according to whom?]
