Explanation

3 October is the Day of German Unity, legally designated by Article 2(2) of the Unification Treaty (31 August 1990). It marks fulfillment of the Basic Law’s mandate for unity—formerly stated in the Preamble—through the GDR’s accession under former Article 23 of the Basic Law, accompanied by the Two Plus Four Treaty restoring full German sovereignty. The holiday replaced 17 June, which since 1954 commemorated the 1953 East German uprising. 3 October was chosen over 9 November due to the latter’s ambivalent historical associations, including the 1938 November pogroms.
