Father Emmeram of Thurn and Taxis OSB, until his profession Prince Max Emanuel Maria Siegfried Joseph Antonius Ignatius Lamoral of Thurn and Taxis[citation needed] (German: Pater Emmeram von Thurn und Taxis OSB;[citation needed] 1 March 1902, Regensburg, Kingdom of Bavaria[citation needed] – 3 October 1994, Regensburg, Bavaria, Germany[citation needed]) was a German Benedictine and member of the Princely House of Thurn and Taxis.
Max Emanuel was the fifth eldest son (fourth, if counting only children who lived to adulthood) of Albert, 8th Prince of Thurn and Taxis, and his wife Archduchess Margarethe Klementine of Austria.
Max Emanuel's eldest brother was Franz Joseph, 9th Prince of Thurn and Taxis.
[2] For over 30 years of his life, Max Emanuel resided isolated at the family-owned St. Emmeram's Abbey in Regensburg.
His desire to revive the monastic life was not fulfilled, however, so he opened Prüfening Abbey as a meeting place and home for the youth and poor.
