He studied fine art at the HfbK Hamburg with Fritz Seitz and Michael Lingner , at the Norwich School of Art and at the Muthesius Art Academy in Kiel with Jan Koblasa , where he graduated with a diploma.

Haberland's works treat linguistic and sculptural elements as equal aesthetic means. Large sculptures made of stone, steel and other materials, combined with inscriptions (“one size fits all”, “WTC memorial sculpture”), words made of stone or stainless steel (“stack”) or filled with letter noodles (“Babylon”) are reminiscent of conceptuals Art , but also have elements of concrete art ("circle") and land art.
