- The official translation for the german word "Dom" is cathedral. Therefore it is a cathedral. Heinrich Janssen is a bishop belonging to the bishopric Münster and has his seat in Xanten for it belongs to the archbishopric of Münster. Panth 11:22, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
I believe that it was heavily damaged in WWII and then rebuilt (but don't have a citation handy). If this is true, it should be included in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.217.149.46 (talk) 02:35, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
