Patriarch German
His Holiness, the Archbishop of Peć, Metropolitan of Belgrade and Karlovci, Serbian Patriarch German (Serbian Cyrillic: Герман) (August 19, 1899, Jošanička Banja, Serbia - August 27, 1991, Belgrade, Serbia) was the patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church from 1958 to 1990. Nicknamed the red patriarch by his opponents, 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.
