The German Reformed churches were usually – as in the case of the Electoral Palatinate depicted here – a composite of a hierarchical order, in which the territorial ruler and a council formed the supreme leadership of the church and supervised the church by means of inspectors, and a countervailing presbyterian-synodal structure at the local level.
