What makes the Germany calendar unique
Every country celebrates some New Year; the Germany signature lives in the other dates: Tag der Deutschen Einheit (German Unity Day, 3 Ekim), found in no other country in the dataset. The longest dry spell of the year runs from Pfingstmontag (25 Mayıs) to Tag der Deutschen Einheit (3 Ekim): 131 straight days without a single nationwide holiday. In 2027, there will be 9 nationwide holidays and Tag der Deutschen Einheit will fall on a Pazar (3 Ekim).
