German (Serbian Cyrillic: Герман, English equivalent: Herman; August 19, 1899 – August 27, 1991) was the 43rd Patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church from 1958 to 1990. Nicknamed the red patriarch (Serbian: црвени патријарх) 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.
