history
The Russian Orthodox Diocese of the Orthodox Bishop of Berlin and Germany has existed since 1926 . According to Orthodox church law, the incumbent (Russian) Orthodox Bishop of Berlin and Germany was responsible for all Orthodox believers in Germany, regardless of nationality. This situation changed only with the immigration of Orthodox workers from Greece and Serbia in the 1960s. In the 1970s, there were 140 places where remaining parishes existed. In recent years in particular, the existing churches have seen a strong influx of believers from Eastern Europe .
