8. German Unity Day

9.

In the Federal Republic of Germany, “German
Unity Day” (German: Tag der deutschen
Einheit, with lowercase letter d) was
introduced in 1954 in memory of the events
of June 17, 1953 in the GDR and was
celebrated on June 17 from 1954 to 1990.
After the unification of the country in 1990,
the national holiday of the united country
was supposed to be postponed to November
9, the day the Berlin Wall fell. However, since
this day was associated with the dark periods
in the history of Germany (the beer coup in
1923 and the November pogroms of 1938),
another date was chosen for the new public
holiday - October 3, 1990 - the day of the final
unification of the two German states.
