Day of German Unity
On 3 October 1990, Germany was officially reunified. Now a public holiday, on the Day of German Unity Berlin throws one heck of a party. Head to the Brandenburg Gate for live entertainment, food, drink and lots of dancing.
It's not just a celebration for the locals who were separated for more
than 40 years by the Berlin Wall. The organisers stress the pan-European
dimension of 1989, when the breaching of the Wall showed that the
cracks in East European Communism were beginning to split wide open,
letting unity between East and West flood through.
The
reunification celebrations tend to be structured civic events, in
contrast to the November booze-up along the former border strip that
commemorates the night the Wall came down.
