Since the early days of the [[Catholic Church]], there have been ninety-four bishops and archbishops of [[Cologne]].

All names before [[Maternus of Cologne|Maternus II]] are to be approached with considerable skepticism, as little contemporary evidence is available. Maternus was present at a council in [[Rome]] in 313. The bishops between Severinus and Charentius are also [[apocrypha]]l. Domitianus was the [[Bishop of Maastricht]] (Mosa Traiectum). The given dates of office before [[Gunther of Cologne|Gunther]] are also conjectural, at best.
