Tag der Deutschen Einheit

National holiday. Commemorating October 3, 1990, when East and West Germany reunified. Every year a different Bundesland hosts the official celebration. The Buergertest in front of the Brandenburg Gate is televised. The speech is given. The flag is flown. The day is less raucous than July 4 in America. The day is more reflective. The Mauerfall happened on November 9, but that date was too close to Kristallnacht. October 3 was chosen instead. The symbolism is careful.
