Parish key
The term parish key or church regional object (KRO) comes from the Protestant church registration system and designates a church administrative unit as an identification number. An ecclesiastical administrative unit can e.g. For example, a church or may be a Parish inside a church.
distribution
All regional churches nationwide have the corresponding KRO. However, their structure and structure are not yet uniform in the area of the Evangelical Church in Germany (EKD) . Parishes abroad are not integrated into the KRO system. The system does not implement any buildings.
application
The parish key is used, for example, as a unique identifier for a parish in the event of a change of parish beyond the regional church borders.
Structure of the parish key
The parish key (= KRO, ecclesiastical regional object) is structured nationwide as follows, whereby the positions are occupied differently or are omitted:
| Job | meaning | Required field |
|---|---|---|
| 1-2 | No. of the regional church (e.g. Ev.-Luth. Regional church of Hanover) | (got to) |
| 3-4 | No. of the next structure (e.g. Sprengel Hildesheim-Göttingen) | (can) |
| 5-6 | No. of the next structure (e.g. church district Leine-Solling) | (can) |
| 7-8 | No. of the next structure (e.g. parish) | (can) |
| 9-10 | No. of the next structure (e.g. parish) | (can) |
| 11-12 | No. of the next structure | (can) |
Due to the different sizes of the regional church, not every regional church has every structural level. The terms also vary, so a church district is called a deanery elsewhere.

The positions mean:
- 08 - Hanover Regional Church
