Not who you're looking for? Others named Hans Staininger: Austrian politician with a long beard (1508-1567)
Hans Staininger or Steininger was the burgomaster of Braunau am Inn who died when he broke his neck by tripping over his own beard. The beard, which was 4.5 feet (1.4 m) long at the time, was usually kept rolled up in a leather pouch.
