The Day of German Unity commemorates German reunification in 1990 as the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic, forming a single German state. This national event is celebrated as a public holiday, where citizens abstain from work for the day. A ceremonial act and festival with fireworks are often held, hosted by the major German cities such as Potsdam, Kiel, Berlin, Mainz, Dresden, and Frankfurt.

Event Suggestions:
• Create a timeline of German reunification and the fall of the Berlin Wall
• Explore German music, food, landmarks, and national symbols
• Discuss how reunification can shape memory, identity, and civic life
