The Serbs in Germany were a particularly strong group, and so numerous other church communities and also a Monastery of Dormition of the Theotokos, Hildesheim, Lower Saxony, which was the bishopric seat from 1979, were established.

On May 23, 1991, the protosingel and former professor at the seminary of Sremski Karlovci in Vojvodina, Konstantin (Đokić), was chosen and ordained as the first bishop of the eparchy.

In 1994 Italy was annexed to the Zagreb-Ljubljana Metropolitan Area, the Benelux countries, France and Spain joined the newly founded Eparchy of Western Europe based in Paris.

In July 2011 Austria and Switzerland were removed from the eparchy; since then they have formed the Serbian Orthodox Diocese of Austria-Switzerland.
