Dioceses

The Roman-Catholic Church in Germany consists of 27 (arch-)dioceses which form a total of seven church provinces. The current structure goes back to extensive reorganization in the course of German reunification.

The dioceses and archdioceses are represented in the Association of German Dioceses (VDD); all bishops are members of the German Bishops' Conference (DBK).
