history

By the Bull Super Universas of May 12, 1559, the diocese of Utrecht was elevated to the Archdiocese of Utrecht and divided into the newly created suffragan dioceses of Haarlem , Middelburg , Leeuwarden , Groningen and Deventer. With regard to the territorial boundaries of these dioceses, however, the bull remained indefinite, so that a commission of five people was set up to determine the boundaries. Accordingly, the diocese extended from the IJsselmeer in the west to the border of the Münster diocese in the east, and in the north from Zwolle to shortly before Arnhemin the south. The county of Lingen in Emsland also belonged to this diocese as an exclave , plus four parishes in Tecklenburger Land , namely Ibbenbüren , Recke , Mettingen and Brochterbeck .

Due to the collapse of the church organization in the Netherlands in the course of the Dutch Reformation , the jurisdiction was temporarily exercised by an apostolic vicar based in Utrecht and at times by the dean of Oldenzaal .
