Interesting! We also have a national holiday in Korea on October 3rd. “Gaecheonjeol” (The National Foundation Day) is a national holiday established to commemorate the founding of the first Korean nation, “Gojoseon” is one of the four national holidays in Korea. And nowadays, there are many efforts for unification in Korea as well. I hope we have a public holiday like Germany under the same name. And now, let’s look at Germany’s Tag der Deutschen Einheit. Los geht’s!

—————————————————————————————————————————–

“The Day of German Unity (German: Tag der Deutschen Einheit) is the national day of Germany, celebrated on 3 October as a public holiday. An alternative choice to commemorate the reunification could have been the day the Berlin Wall came down: 9 November 1989, which coincided with the anniversary of the proclamation of the German Republic in 1918, and the defeat of Hitler’s first coup in 1923. However, 9 November was also the anniversary of the first large-scale Nazi-led pogroms against Jews in 1938 (Kristallnacht), so the day was considered inappropriate as a national holiday. Therefore, 3 October 1990, the day of the formal reunification, was chosen instead and replaced the “Day of German Unity” on 17 June, the national holiday of the Federal Republic of Germany from 1954.
