| | | | archbishop of Cologne: Encyclopedia II - Bishopric of Liège - Origin The first capital of this diocese was Tongeren, northeast of Liège; its territory originally belonged to the Diocese of Trier, then to Cologne; but after the first half of the fourth century Tongeren received autonomous organization.

| | | | archbishop of Cologne: Encyclopedia II - Abbot - General Information Before the late modern era, the abbot was treated with the utmost reverence by the brethren of his house.

Of these the most noteworthy is the abbey of Lokkum in Hanover, founded as a Cistercian house in 1163 by Count Wilbrand of Hallermund, and reformed in 1593. The abbot of Lokkum, who still carries a pastoral staff, takes precedence of all the clergy of Hanover, and is ex officio a member of the consistory of the kingdom. The governing body of the abbey consists of abbot, prior and the "co ...
