Hermann Streber (b. at Munich, 27 September 1839; d. at Tölz, 9 August 1896) was a German Roman Catholic priest and writer, particularly associated with the second edition of the Kirchenlexikon.
He entered the Ludwigsgymnasium in 1850, but a nervous fever prevented him from qualifying for the university through the usual final school examination.
Entering the university by a private examination in 1858, he devoted over two years to the study of philosophy and theology, attending besides historical lectures.
[1] He then resumed his duties as religious teacher until June, 1870, when he was dismissed for alleged "intriguing in favour of the dogma of infallibility".
When Hergenröther was summoned as cardinal to Rome, Streber moved to Bonn to be near Kaulen, the new editor, and worked on the "Nomenclator".
