- Bishopric of Havelberg
-
The Bishopric of Havelberg (German: Bistum Havelberg) was a Roman Catholic diocese founded by King Otto I, King of the Germans, in 946. The diocese was suffragan to the Archbishopric of Magdeburg. Its most famous bishop was Anselm of Havelberg. Its seat was in Havelberg in the Northern March and it roughly covered the Prignitz. The Holy Blood of Wilsnack became famous while Dietrich Man was bishop. As a result of the Protestant Reformation, the bishopric was dissolved by the Lutheran Margraviate of Brandenburg in 1598.
