In the second generation 76Ge double-beta decay experiment GERDA bare detectors made out of enriched 76Ge will be operated in an cryogenic fluid shield. The goal of the approved GERDA project is to reduce the background around Q = 2039 keV below 10-3 counts/(kg keV y) and reach a sensitivity for neutrinoless \beta \beta decay of T1/2>2 \times 1026 years after an exposure of 100 kg years.
