Life
Donin was ordained a priest in 1833 . From 1835 he lived in Vienna, where he was cathedral curate at St. Stephen's Cathedral and worked as a religion teacher. Furthermore, he was a very active writer and, in addition to prayer and edification books, wrote historical and polemical-political works. In 1867 alone he published 27 titles. At the time of his death, 6 million books by him were said to have been in circulation. Donin donated a multi-storey residential building at Antonigasse 30 for the poor Währings (since 1892 in Vienna's 18th district). There is an inscription in Latin that reminds of the founder. Since 2005 there has been a residential facility for people with intellectual disabilities in the house.
Donin's partial estate is in the archives of the Archdiocese of Vienna .
