Serbs in Germany (Serbian: Срби у Немачкој, romanized: Srbi u Nemačkoj; German: Serben in Deutschland) refers to persons living in Germany who have total or partial Serbian ancestry. They form the seventh largest group of foreigners in Germany.[2]

Demographics

The majority (64%) of the Serbian population is concentrated in three federal states: North Rhine-Westphalia, Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria. Within the three states the Serbs are numerous in Düsseldorf, Stuttgart and especially Munich.[3] Ulm had the highest share of migrants from Serbia in 2011 according to German Census data. [4] But a considerable part of the Serbian Migrants was not included, because it still went under former nationalities (Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Serbia and Montenegro, Serbia until 2008) at the time of the census. According to the Federal Statistical Office, at the end of 2015 the number of foreigners with Serbian nationality in Germany stood at 230,427. Another 29,785 foreigners living in Germany with the citizenship of the former Serbia and Montenegro have not yet decided on one of the possible new citizenships.[2]
