Earlier it has been shown that in the lithium heptagermanate Li2Ge7O15 structure the chromium doping ions substitute the germanium hosts and create Cr3+-Li+ pair centres. In the paper EPR and dielectric spectra of Li2Ge7O15:Cr3+ crystal are studied in the temperature range $300\div 500$ K. The thermally activated reorientation of Cr3+-Li+ pairs has been detected through EPR line width broadening and dielectric relaxation.
