The Bishop of Halberstadt was a significant ecclesiastical position in the Holy Roman Empire, overseeing the Diocese of Halberstadt. Established in the 9th century, the bishopric played a crucial role in the religious and political landscape of the region, influencing local governance and church affairs. The bishopric was part of the larger network of Catholic Church authorities in Germany. It was often involved in conflicts with local nobility and other bishops, reflecting the power struggles of the time. The position was abolished in 1803 during the secularization of church lands in the wake of the Napoleonic Wars.
