Grew up in Holzkirchen as the first child of Josef Hainz and Elisabeth Hainz, geb.

After graduating from high school in 1956, he began studying philosophy and Catholic theology in Würzburg , which he continued in Freising in 1958 . In 1962, he was by Julius Döpfner for ordained priests . He then worked from 1962 to 1964 as a chaplain in Degerndorf am Inn (now part of Brannenburg) and from 1964 to 1965 as a chaplain in Miesbach .

From 1965 to 1968 he worked as a prefect and lecturer at the Freising seminary. After moving the seminary from Freising to Munich, he was head of the preparatory college of the Munich seminary at Veterinärstraße 3 ("V3") from 1968 to 1972. He completed his studies with a doctorate in 1970 and his habilitation in 1974 (Dr. theol. Habil. For New Testament exegesis and biblical hermeneutics) at the LMU in Munich with Otto Kuss .

In the 1980s he worked with a smaller group of students on the Munich New Testament , which first appeared in 1988. He retired in 2001.

As a long-standing library officer for the Catholic Theology department at Goethe University, Hainz was responsible for taking over the legacies of Ernst Michel , Joseph Wittig and Hans Trüb in the department library (today in the archive center of the university library ).
