Lists of domes and cathedrals

The cathedral of the Archdiocese of Cologne , the Cologne Cathedral

The list of lists of domes and cathedrals contains the lists of cathedrals and similar churches divided by continents and states . The name Dom, which is common in Germany for episcopal churches and some other important churches, is only available in a few languages ​​and also with country-specific differences.

In the Swabian - Alemannic language area, u. a. for bishop churches instead of cathedral the designation Münster is used, outside only for collegiate churches . The English term minster is similar, a few bishop churches and (former) collegiate churches and a slightly larger number of normal but well-known parish churches are referred to as ministers . Actually, Münster or Minster means monastery (church), from Latin monasterium = monastery.

In addition to churches that were built centuries ago as a bishopric and have been one since then, there are those that were initially built for a different ecclesiastical purpose and in some cases only became a bishopric much later. Others lost their bishopric.
