Apostolic Exarchate in Germany and Scandinavia for the Ukrainians, Ukrainian Catholic jurisdiction in Munich, Germany

The Apostolic Exarchate in Germany and Scandinavia for the Ukrainians is a jurisdiction of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church covering Germany, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden, with its seat at Schönbergstrasse 9 in Munich. Its cathedral is Maria Schutz und St. Andreas in Munich. In 2014 it served 40,700 faithful in 16 parishes with 24 priests, one deacon, eight lay religious and one seminarian.

In 1927 Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky set up a pastoral deanery for Ukrainian Catholics in Berlin, led by Petro Werhun, who was named Apostolic Visitator in 1940 and deported to the USSR in 1945. Pope John XXIII erected the Apostolic Exarchate on 17 April 1959, with Platon Kornyljak consecrated bishop on 7 July 1959 and leading it until 1996. In 1984 its jurisdiction was extended from West Germany to the Scandinavian countries.

The exarchate publishes the newspaper "Christliche Stimme" (Christian Voice) and runs charitable and academic institutions alongside its parishes. In many parishes, Ukrainian Greek Catholics celebrate the Divine Liturgy in the local Latin Catholic church; in Copenhagen this is Sankt Ansgars kirke, on the first Sunday of each month at noon.
