Combined Cathedral Chapter

Tradition for 1000 years

Welcome to the Combined Cathedral Chapter!

- One of the most traditional foundations in Germany -

While the Combined Cathedral Chapter in its present form as a non-profit foundation under public law dates back to 1930, the roots of the Naumburg and Merseburg cathedral chapters reach back to 1,000 years ago. The Combined Cathedral Chapter is the supervisory body above a joint administration of the cathedrals in Naumburg and Merseburg as well as the collegiate library in Zeitz and other properties. Today, the preservation of the rich cultural heritage and the promotion of current social achievements are the guiding principles of the foundation's work.

News

The cathedral administration will not be available on 20 November 2023 for operational reasons, and the Merseburg and Naumburg cathedrals and the Zeitz Abbey Library will also be closed on this day.
