History
Hilarios Karl-Heinz Ungerer was ordained priest twice in 1967 in the Free Catholic Church Movement in Germany, and was consecrated Bishop several years later. Having established a "shop church" on one of the main thoroughfares of downtown Munich, in 1976 he became part of the German branch of the Mariavite Church, a Polish Marian Catholic movement that broke away from the Roman Catholic Church in 1909 and entered into communion with the Old Catholic Church of the Netherlands. On 6 October 1976 Ungerer was consecrated bishop (sub-conditione) by the Mariavite Bishop Norbert Maas, but on 8 August 1978 he achieved demission.
