The observation of this Beyond the Standard Model process would prove the existence of a neutrino Majorana mass component and provide information on the neutrino mass hierarchy and absolute mass scale. {\sc Gerda} operates enriched germanium diodes, acting simultaneously as the source and detector material, directly submerged in liquid argon. Phase I achieved the world's best lower limit of $T^{\,0\nu\beta\beta}_{1/2}>2.1\cdot10^{25}$~yr (90\% C.L.). With the recent completion of the upgrade to Phase II, an additional 20~kg of germanium detectors -- for a total of 35~kg -- and a liquid argon veto system have been implemented. The goal is an order of magnitude lower background with a projected sensitivity of $1.4\cdot10^{26}$~yr for $T^{\,0\nu\beta\beta}_{1/2}$.
