This morning I was aboard a S-Bahn (German Subway) and I met a fellow student, who works for IBM. What he is doing there is Java EE optimization. I told him about my little project. And he recommended not to use 'oldschool' Hibernate. That's why my question is:

Is Hibernate deprecated? (In combination with Java EE/Web Development)

..or did he just prate..

java hibernate jpa

No, there is no way that Hibernate is deprecated. There is the JPA which is a persistence specification and Hibernate implements it. Also Hibernate has its own advanced features that JPA does not have and that's why Hibernate is the main source of new features that are added to the JPA standard.
