Bishop of Regensburg Totally Explained

Everything about Bishop Of Regensburg totally explained

The Bishops of Regensburg are Roman Catholic bishops of the Diocese of Regensburg, Bavaria, Germany. The diocese was founded in 739. The bishops were also Princes of the Holy Roman Empire, ruling a territory known as the Hochstift Regensburg. They were not among the most powerful Prince-Bishops, due to the existence of other reichsfrei authorities in Regensburg which prevented them from consolidating a major territorial base. The end of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806 and its aftermath saw the end of the territorial claim of the bishops, who from 1817 were suffragans of the Archbishops of Munich and Freising. The seat of the bishops is Regensburg Cathedral.
