Patriarch of Serbian German (Hranislav Đorić)
One of the greatest merits of the patriarch of German is that he managed to win in the fight for the continuation of the construction of the St. Sava Temple in Belgrade. It has been noted that Patriarch German filed requests 88 times and held talks with various instances of government, until he succeeded to continue building in 1984. While at the helm of the Serbian Orthodox Church, although in difficult circumstances, he managed to build the reconstruction of Žiča, Studenica, Lazarica and many other temples. All the more important temples of the Serbian Orthodox Church in former Yugoslavia were placed under the protection of the republic and provincial institutes for the protection of cultural monuments.
He also managed to open the Faculty of Theology in Libertyville, to build a new building of the Faculty of Orthodox Theology in Belgrade and along with that the Institute of theology. He pleaded for issuing church newspapers and to religiously enlighten his people. He is the bearer of many Yugoslav and foreign state and church decorations. Patriarch German retired on August 27, 1991. He is buried in St. Mark’s Church in Belgrade.
