noun

die Pfarre, -n

parish

Eine örtliche Gemeinschaft von Gläubigen mit eigener Kirche und Leitung.

The German word "Pfarre" is a noun that refers to a "parish" in a religious context, typically within the Christian church. It originates from the Latin word "parochia," indicating a local church community associated with a particular congregation and its pastor.

Similar words in German include "Pfarrgemeinde" (parish community) and "Kirchengemeinde" (church community).

The distinction is that "Pfarre" often refers specifically to the administrative and geographical concept of a parish, while "Pfarrgemeinde" emphasizes the community aspect of the congregation.
