In later years there were also dates of the Catholic in Europe and the rest of the world. It was initially published every two years, later every four years. The first books were published by Herder Verlag Freiburg and edited by the statistician Hermann Anton Krose . From 1915 the official central office for ecclesiastical statistics , founded by resolution of the Fulda Bishops' Conference , became the publisher, but Korse remained the main author. Later, Bachem Verlag initially took over the printing. The German Bishops 'Conference took over the office as a separate department and the secretariat of the German Bishops' Conference became the publisher from 1925. The publisher in Mainz recently published the manual. With his work, Krose wanted to create a Catholic counterpart to the Protestant “ Church Yearbook ” that had been published since 1873
