Bishop of Basel
Encyclopedia : B : BI : BIS : Bishop of Basel
The Bishop of Basel (German: Bischof von Basel) is the Ordinary of the Roman Catholic diocese of Basel, Switzerland (Latin: Dioecesis Basileensis).
Basel itself became episcopal seat in ca. 740, continuing the 4th century diocese of Augusta Raurica.
Prior to the Reformation, the bishop resided in Basel, from 1528 in Porrentruy, and since 1828 in Solothurn.
From 999 to 1802, the Bishop was a Prince-Bishop of the Holy Roman Empire. Following the Imperial Reform of 1495, the Bishop was part of the Upper Rhenish Circle of the Imperial Circle Estates.
