Overall: 
Very interesting, indeed. I, personally think the lemma should be Altenberg Dom or even better Altenberg Cathedral as in Bamberg Cathedral = de:Bamberger Dom, but I haven't searched for similar domes. I also think that the German literature list could be condensed to 3-5 German books, while British or American books should be added. I am not sure that we need the list of the graves of the abbots, since none of them is linked in blue (I have quickly checked this, and all of them appeared as red links).

@Gerda Arendt: The article will be ready to go, as soon as we receive any comment regarding the shorter hook and the revised lemma. NearEMPTiness (talk) 17:30, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
- The ALT is fine, only I prefer to have the link to the article the first link, - don't want readers to stick with the king ;) - Is Simultaneum a known-enough term? I don't know. - Do you have an idea for an infobox? Infobox church wants one denomination. (I asked on the template talk.) - I would call it Altenberg Cathedral (and there's a redirect) if it WAS a cathedral, but it isn't , and if you look at the source in English, it carefully avoids such a term. Bamberg Cathedral IS a cathedral. Altenberg Dom - half English, half German - doesn't work for me. Compare Rheingauer Dom and Westerwälder Dom. We discussed Frankfurt Cathedral, which also is no cathedral, but in that case the common usage was overwhelming. It's not for this one, rather only a few tourist sites who possibly even understand ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:19, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
I agree and conclude that the article is ready to go with the original hook. The German reference to the hook is fine and reliable. NearEMPTiness (talk) 05:52, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
