He married Therese Fäßler (1811–1893), and was the father to landscape painter Karl Haider, and grandfather to painter Ernst Haider.[1]
Haider provided hunting illustrations for the Fliegende Blätter weekly magazine and the Münchener Bilderbogen bi-weekly broadsheet. These illustrations fitted the cultural programme of Maximilian II of Bavaria's belief in reviving regional and national art to awaken a Bavarian national identity, which countered those of his father Ludwig I.
Works by Haider are in the collection of the German Hunting and Fishing Museum in Munich.
