Coffi Regis Akakpo becomes Dechant of Osnabrück-Stadt

Coffi Regis Akakpo has been appointed dean of the Osnabrück-Stadt deanery by Bishop Dominicus Meier. Akakpo, who serves as the pastor of St. Elisabeth parish, was elected to the position by the priests, deacons, and pastoral staff from the six parishes within the city area.

In this role, Akakpo acts as a link between the diocesan leadership and local parishes. His responsibilities include representing the deanery both internally and externally, as well as moderating and supporting future processes within the local Church.

Thilo Wilhelm, the pastor of St. Peter's Cathedral, was chosen by the personnel assembly to serve as the new deputy dean. Akakpo previously served as a chaplain in Hagen a.T.W. and a pastor in Bissendorf before moving to Osnabrück in 2024.
