Bridge day check
Falls on the weekend, so it costs most people no leave — and in many countries no day is given back.
What the day is for
The only federal holiday, marking reunification on 3 October 1990. The central Bürgerfest rotates between state capitals each year; it is civic and low-key rather than patriotic in tone.
Do shops and banks close?
Banks, offices and all retail close nationwide — one of the few days that shuts every state at once.
Getting around
Sunday timetables; host-city centre closures for the festival.
When it falls each year
Floating holidays shift; fixed ones move only in which weekday they land on.
