German (Serbian Cyrillic: Герман, English equivalent: Herman; 19 August 1899 – 27 August 1991) was the 43rd Patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church from 1958 to 1990.[1] He was successful in revitalizing the Serbian Orthodox Church to a certain extent during the Communist period, despite two schisms that occurred during his tenure.[2]

The full title of German was: His Holiness, the Archbishop of Peć, Metropolitan of Belgrade and Karlovci, and Serbian Patriarch German (Serbian: Његова светост, Архиепископ пећки, Митрополит београдско-карловачки и Патријарх српски, Герман)
