History

The already mentioned diocese of Strasbourg 343 belonged to since the Carolingian period of the ecclesiastical province of Mainz. Following the 12th century breakdown into eight Archidiakonate, all of which belonged to the cathedral chapter, the diocese counted in the 15th century 448 parishes in 14 deaneries. Due to the Reformation, the number of parishes but decreased in the 17th century to 162

Already in the 10th century, the Bishop acquired the right to mint coins, and the earldom and was able to over the centuries to build a territory. The Bishopric of Strasbourg was very fragmented, however, had an area of 1400 km ². The residence of the bishop, the king of France made ​​the homage for his French lands since 1687, was located predominantly in Dachstein or Saverne.

The Chapter was founded in 888 as Marie Brotherhood of the cathedral and received at the beginning of the 11th century, and its economic independence from the bishop. After the number of its members originally varied between 30 and 50, 1364, she was set at 24. These had to be at least barons and maternal and paternal may have 16 ancestors since the 13th century.

To 1262, the bishop tried to curtail the rights of the city of Strasbourg. There it came to open war with the citizens; on March 8, 1262 Bishop Walter of Geroldseck was decisively defeated at the battle of local mountains and the city gained its independence from the Bishopric of Strasbourg. As a result, it developed into a free imperial city.

As the old families of Alsace extinct in the 15th century, the aristocratic section was open only country foreign candidates. The last Alsatian canon should be passed in 1456. The sometimes massive battles were fought in the 15th century, at the Council of Basel. Given the scarce resources it came in 1650 to a division of the chapter in twelve Kapitularkanoniker with the bishop suffrage and the worse doped remaining twelve canons.

After the conquest by France in 1681 were made and the final annexation in 1697 in the Peace of Rijswijk immediately set a massive recatholicization. A survey conducted shortly before 1700 Revision of Statutes facilitated the needle detection, so that one could now also take French.

After the Franco-German war 1870/71, the diocese fell again (as well as the National Rural Alsace -Lorraine ) to Germany (now Deutsches Kaiserreich ). The diocese was equated the German dioceses, but always was regarded as an exceptional area. With its reversion to France ( Treaty of Versailles, 1919), it lost the right of free election of bishops again, but still forms, together with the Diocese of Metz, an ecclesiastical exception region of France and is replaced with this, in contrast to the other dioceses in the country, a church tax. On 1 June 1988, the diocese was Pope John Paul II raised during a visit to an archbishopric, but without being the seat of a metropolitan.
