Serbs (German: Serben in Deutschland, Serbian: Срби у Немачкој/Srbi u Nemačkoj) are the seventh largest group of foreigners in Germany.[2] Most Serbs living in Germany, moved during the 1960s and 1970s as Gastarbeiter or "Guest workers" when Serbia was part of Yugoslavia. A small percentage of Serbs migrated to Germany as refugees during the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s.
