The official name of Germany 65438+10.3 is "Unification Day", which is a legal holiday, but it is not "National Day".

Unlike France, where the revolutionary masses captured the Bastille on July 1789, the United States captured the Bastille on July 1776. According to the rules since the unification of 1990, state capitals hold celebrations in turn, such as Dresden in 2000. Therefore, it is not surprising that there are no grand and solemn celebrations in the capital, even on Fridays and every ten days. Citizens of the capital can still enjoy themselves in front of the Brandenburg Gate in the rare bright sunshine in autumn.
