The Archdiocese of Hamburg ( Latin : Archidioecesis Hamburgensis ) is a Roman Catholic diocese in northern Germany and comprises the federal states of Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein as well as the Mecklenburg part of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . It is the largest diocese in Germany in terms of area . The situation as a diocese in the diaspora is characteristic . The seat of the bishop is the St. Marien-Dom in Hamburg-St. George .
history
middle Ages
The first Hamburg church was consecrated in 810 on behalf of Charlemagne by the Trier choir bishop Amalar ; Heridag is named as the first pastor . Karl excluded this church from the jurisdiction of the neighboring bishops. The "founding document" of Hamburg, dated May 15, 834 and allegedly issued by Ludwig the Pious , is a later forgery that was probably made between 889 and 893. Heridag, already designated bishop, died, so that in 834 the Benedictine monk Ansgar was ordained first bishop.
After Hamburg was sacked by the Vikings in 845, the Archdiocese of Hamburg was merged with the Diocese of Bremen to form the Archdiocese of Hamburg-Bremen (see Archdiocese of Bremen ) and the seat of the Archdiocese became Bremen . In Hamburg, a cathedral chapter with only a few rights continued to exist , which among other things was responsible for the construction of the Mariendom .
Early modern age
In the Reformation and finally with the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, the confessional boundaries were set and the diocese dissolved. The care of the Catholics in the former diocese was initially the responsibility of the Apostolic Vicariate of the North . From 1528–1529, Bugenhagen worked out the Protestant church order in Hamburg. The cathedral monastery became Protestant. Catholic masses were banned. In the Bremen settlement concluded on the mediation of Emperor Ferdinand in 1561 , the cathedral chapter largely renounced its influence on the Hamburg city church, but retained sovereignty over the cathedral and its income and jurisdiction over the canons. Since then, the cathedral has formed an enclave in Hamburg that was subordinate to foreign powers until 1648 to the (Lutheran) archbishop-administrator of Bremen. Since the Peace of Westphalia , the cathedral, like the Archbishopric of Bremen, first passed to Sweden , and in 1715 to the Electorate of Hanover . No parish belonged to the cathedral. In Schleswig-Holstein , new Catholic communities emerged with great difficulty, in Altona (1594), in Glückstadt (1616), Friedrichstadt (1625) and on the island of Nordstrand (1652).
19th century
After the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1803, the Hamburg Cathedral was also secularized and thus fell to the city of Hamburg. In 1804 the demolition was decided and officially justified with the enormous construction load and the reference to the insignificant small cathedral community. There was no interest in the art-historical significance of the cathedral and its precious furnishings. The last service took place in June 1804. Then the first thing to do was to recover the remains of the approximately 25,000 corpses that had been buried in and next to the cathedral over the centuries. In May 1805 the actual demolition began with the lowering of the bells and the removal of the tower. On July 11, 1805, the church and all of its inventory were sold. By the end of 1806 - Hamburg was already occupied by the French - the entire structure had been demolished.
Founded in 1994
The Archdiocese of Hamburg was created by Pope John Paul II. With the Apostolic Constitution Omnium christifidelium of 24 October 1994 with effect from January 7, 1995 mainly from parts of the diocese of Osnabrueck (with the entire Episcopal Office Schwerin ) and smaller areas of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Hildesheim rebuilt .
With the Apostolic Letter Constat Christifidelis , John Paul II confirmed on March 1, 1995 St. Ansgar as patron of the diocese .
The cathedral church (the so-called Neue Mariendom ) and the vicariate general are located in the Hamburg district of St. Georg in the Hamburg-Mitte district. The diocese runs kindergartens and schools through the Bernostiftung , especially in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
Economic data
For 2012 the following were reported:
- Income from church tax: € 127.556 million (2011: € 123.362 million)
- Total income less interdiocesan offsetting : € 100.537 million (2011: € 89.637 million)
- Expenditure: € 83.928 million (2011: € 80.342 million)
- Net income: € 20.113 million (2011: € 17.393 million)
Archbishop Stefan Heße, who has been in office since 2015, addressed the difficult economic situation of the archbishopric in November 2016 and announced massive savings. He commissioned the consulting company Ernst & Young with a three-month consulting process. After its end, the archbishopric was overindebted to the amount of 79 million euros and the implementation of further changes and reforms was announced, which should particularly affect the social welfare of the diocese, in order to avert an escalation of the archdiocese's debt crisis, which is still considered manageable. As a result, eight Catholic schools in the Hanseatic city are to be closed.

Diocese structure
Reorganization of the diocese since the beginning of 2017
Division of the diocese into three regions
The archbishopric was divided into three regions. These regions are identical to the respective federal states (Hamburg region, Schleswig-Holstein region and Mecklenburg region). The Mecklenburg region consists of the parts of the archdiocese that are in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. There is a pastoral forum per region , headed by a regional dean.
Regional deans:
- Hamburg region: Cathedral Chapter Monsignor Peter Mies, Cathedral pastor in Hamburg
- Schleswig-Holstein region: Provost Leo Sunderdiek, cathedral capitular and pastor of the parish Franz von Assisi Kiel
- Mecklenburg region:
- Cathedral Chapter Monsignor Horst Eberlein , Provost in Schwerin (until his appointment as auxiliary bishop in February 2017)
- Stefan Krinke, Provost in Schwerin (April 2017 to April 2018)
- Dr. Georg Bergner, Provost in Schwerin (since July 1, 2018)
Division of a region into several pastoral rooms
With effect from January 1, 2017, Archbishop Heße repealed the archbishopric's old deanery structure. Previous individual parishes will be merged into larger pastoral spaces. Each pastoral room is headed by a pastor who usually has other priests with the title of pastor as staff. There is only one church council per pastoral room. The Archdiocese of Hamburg comprises 28 pastoral rooms .
Old structure of the diocese until the end of 2016
By the end of 2016, the approx. 80 parishes of the archdiocese were divided into 17 deaneries:
