Even though the German National Holiday (German: "Tag der deutschen Einheit", "Day of German Unity/Unification") that celebrates the Re-Unification of the Federal German Republic (West-Germany) and the German Democratic Republic (East-Germany) takes place on October the 3rd [1] (formerly June 17 [2]), there is another day in Germany that is laden with historic meaning.

Tomorrow, on November the 9th, Germany remembers some of the most important dates in its history. On four different occasions during the 20th Century, fundamental and inimitable events took place on this day, sometimes called a "Day of Fate" for the Germans: The end of the Monarchy in 1918, the failed Beer Hall Putsch of 1923, the Night of Broken Glass in 1938, and the fall of the Berlin Wall 1989.
