The Free Catholic Church in Germany (German: Freikatholische Kirche in Deutschland) is a Christian religious community in Germany which was legally registered in 1987.[1][a]
Johannes Peter Meyer-Mendez brought the Brazilian Catholic Apostolic Church (ICAB) to Germany in 1949.[6] It was registered as the Free Catholic Church ("Freikatholische Kirche").
After Meyer-Mendez died, Georg Fröbrich [de] became the leader, then Hilarios Karl-Heinz Ungerer became the leader and moved from Cologne to Munich.
In 1972, Ungerer opened a storefront church in Munich; over the next 25 years he endeavoured to integrate marginal groups into the church.[7]
