After graduation from gymnasium in 1963, Algermissen studied philosophy and theology in Freiburg and Paderborn, where he was ordained priest on 19 July 1969 by Archbishop Cardinal Lorenz Jaeger. After serving as chaplain in Bielefeld and Mescheden, during which time he also counseled at the high school in Paderborn, he became parson in 1980 in Bielefeld-Schildesche, and dean in 1984. In 1991 he became regional dean for the deanery of Minden-Ravensberg-Lippe, and from 1994 to 1998 he was president of the Council of Bishops for the Archdiocese of Paderborn.

On 20 June 2001 John Paul II appointed him Bishop of Fulda, and on 23 September he was installed in Fulda Cathedral. Since 2002 he is president von Pax Christi, and since 2006 he is vice-president of an ecumenical committee dealing with Judaism for the German Bishops' Conference.
