Fr German was elevated to the rank of [[archimandrite]] [[July 12]]. Patriarch Vikentije, together with bishops Vasilije of Banja Luka, Nikanor of Srem and Valerijan of Sumadija, consecrated Fr German. His ordination took a place in Belgrade in Cathedral church of Holy Archangel Michael, [[July 15]].
In 1951, he was elected bishop of Budim. However, Hungarian authorities didn't approve this appointment, and the government didn’t allow him to enter the country. Thus, he was never enthroned.

In this capacity, he was also an [[administrator]] of Budimlja-Polimlje and Raška-Prizren eparchies.
