Cathedral Council

The governing body of Berlin Cathedral is known as the Cathedral Council (Domkirchenkollegium [DKK]). It consists of eight men and women who are members of the parish, and who are appointed for six years respectively. The work undertaken by the Cathedral Council is not remunerated.

The DKK also includes the two cathedral preachers and one representative each from the Union of Protestant Churches (UEK), the regional church (EKBO), the federal government and the Berlin Senate. In addition, the chairman of the parish advisory council and the honorary chairwoman attend the monthly meetings as permanent guests in an advisory capacity.
