We introduce and study lattice-finite Noetherian rings and show that they form a onedimensional analogue of representation-finite Artinian rings. We prove that every lattice-finite Noetherian ring R has Krull dimension ≼ 1, and that R modulo its Artinian radical is an order in a semi-simple ring. Our main result states that maximal overorders of R exist and have to be Asano orders, while they need not be fully bounded. This will be achieved by means of an idempotent ideal I(R), an invariant or R which is new even for classical orders R. This ideal satisfies I(R) = R whenever R is maximal.
