Diocese of Lebus before the Reformation
The Diocese of Lebus (Latin: Dioecesis Lubucensis; German: Bistum Lebus; Polish: Diecezja Lubuska) is a former diocese of the Catholic Church. It was erected in 1125 and suppressed in 1598. The Bishop of Lebus was also, ex officio, the ruler of a lordship that was coextensive with the territory of the diocese. The geographic remit included areas that are today part of the land of Brandenburg in Germany and the Province of Lubusz in Poland. It included areas on both sides of the Oder River around the town of Lebus (Polish: Lubusz). The cathedral was built on the castle hill in Lubusz and was dedicated to St Adalbert of Prague.[1] Later, the seat moved to Górzyca (German: Göritz), back to Lebus and finally to Fürstenwalde (Polish: Przybór) on the River Spree.
It bordered the Diocese of Poznań to the east, the Diocese of Brandenburg to the west, the Diocese of Cammin (Kamień) to the north and the Diocese of Meissen to the south.
