Managing Board

Indeed the ZDV-family consists to the biggest part of “adopted” members – but there are also “born” ones:

Honorary chairman of the management board is the respective archbishop of Cologne, at the present time His Eminence Joachim cardinal Meisner. Cologne’s Chief Burgomaster (currently Jürgen Roters) automatically counts among them, likewise Cologne Cathedral master-builder – since 1999 for the very first time a master-builder craftswoman: Prof. Barbara Schock-Werner. And a delegated member of the diocesan chapter, Cologne Cathedral's provost Dr. Norbert Feldhoff, belongs as well to ZDV’s “core” thus to the managing board, which has yet 40 other members.
