Category:Bishops of Verden

Note: Not all incumbents of the Verden See were imperially invested princely power as Prince-Bishops and not all were papally confirmed as bishops. The respective incumbents bore the following titles:
 * Bishop of Verden until 1180
 * Prince-bishop of Verden from 1180 to 1566 and again 1630 to 1631
 * Administrator of the Prince-Bishopric of Verden from 1568 to 1630 and again 1631 to 1644. Lacking canon-law prerequisites the incumbent of the See would officially only hold the title administrator (but nevertheless colloquially referred to as Prince-Bishop). All administrators were Lutherans. After 1644 the See was vacant. In 1648 the prince-bishopric was secularised as Principality of Verden.
