The Catholic Military Episcopate ( KMBA ) in Berlin is a federal authority in the division of the Federal Ministry of Defense (MoD). It is the central administrative authority of the Catholic Military Pastoral Care and is headed by Military Vicar General Reinhold Bartmann . The church management by the Catholic military bishop and the state administration and organization by the BMVg flow together in it.
The sister authority of the Catholic Military Bishop's Office is the Evangelical Church Office for the Federal Armed Forces (EKA). Both authorities with their respective subordinate areas together form the organizational area of military pastoral care of the Bundeswehr .
The Catholic Military Bishop's Office is located in the house on Weidendamm in Berlin-Mitte , a building erected in 1773 in a former Prussian barracks. In the house are the offices of the Catholic Soldier Pastoral Care AöR , the guest house of the Catholic military bishop, meeting and conference rooms, a dining room, a club room and catering area as well as the St. Michael chapel on the top floor.
