National Day of the Federal Republic of Germany , 3 October

Germany, officially the Federal Republic of Germany is a country in Central Europe. It is the second-most populous country in Europe after Russia, and the most populous member state of the European Union. Germany is situated between the Baltic and North seas to the north, and the Alps to the south

After enduring decades of division, it makes sense that the day Germany was finally reunified was an important one. Yet, despite how it might seem from the outside, the fall of the Berlin Wall isn’t quite what is being celebrated on Tag der Deutschen Einheit, which is the country’s only federally administered holiday, occurring every year on October 3rd. Instead, it is meant to signify more than that.

The Day of Unity is a public holiday in Germany that is always celebrated on October 3rd. If October 3rd falls on a weekend, it will not be moved to a weekday.
