Until 1990, all Serbian orthodox churches in Germany belonged to the Serbian Orthodox Eparchy of Western Europe, which was founded in 1969. At the end of 1990, new diocese was created and named Serbian Orthodox Diocese of Central Europe. After the reorganization in 1994, jurisdiction of the diocese was confined to Serbian orthodox churches in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
In May 2011 new Serbian Orthodox Eparchy of Austria and Switzerland was created and the Diocese of Central Europe was reduced to the territory of Germany. In May 2014, Archimandrite Sergije was elected as new Serbian Orthodox Bishop of Central Europe. In 2015, the Diocese was officially renamed to Serbian Orthodox Diocese of Frankfurt and all of Germany. In 2017, bishop Sergije was transferred to the Eparchy of Bihać and Petrovac, and the Eparchy of Frankfurt and Germany was placed under the administration of bishop Andrej Ćilerdžić of Austria and Switzerland.
