Meißen Cathedral is dedicated to John the Baptist and Donatus of Arezzo and is therefore named St. John and St. Donatus. Donatus of Arezzo was a patron of the old bishopric of Meißen, and is one of the patrons of the present-day Diocese of Dresden-Meißen. The dome is composed with the Albrechtsburg Castle part of the Castle Hill ensemble rising from the old town of Meissen.

The Church is one of the purest style of German Gothic cathedrals.

The church stands in the tradition of the founding of the bishopric of Meißen by King Otto I in the year 968 and thus represents the Christian nucleus of today's Saxony, of the earlier mark.

In 1581, the dome became a Lutheran Church. Today, the Cathedral is the sermon Church for the Presiding Bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Saxony. The Roman Catholic Diocese of Dresden-Meißen in Dresden since 1980 has its Cathedral.
