Whether through resolutions, celebrations, or rituals, New Year&#8217;s Day serves as a universal reminder to embrace change and look forward to the future.<\/p>\n<h3>Epiphanie Einf\u00fchrung<\/h3>\n<p>Epiphany, celebrated on January 6, marks the manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles, represented by the visit of the Magi, or Wise Men, to the infant Jesus.

In many countries, it heralds the end of the Christmas season, with festive gatherings, special foods, and vibrant parades. Notably, in Spain and Latin America, children eagerly await gifts from the &#8220;Three Kings&#8221; rather than Santa Claus. In Orthodox Christianity, Epiphany is associated with the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River, symbolizing revelation and the divine nature of Christ. Unique customs, such as the &#8220;Galette des Rois&#8221; in France and the &#8220;Rosca de Reyes&#8221; in Mexico, reflect the blending of culinary delights with religious observance, making Epiphany a celebration of both faith and community.<\/p>\n<h3>Epiphanie Einf\u00fchrung<\/h3>\n<p>Epiphany, celebrated on January 6th, marks the end of the Christmas season and holds significant importance in Christian traditions.

In many cultures, this day also celebrates the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River, emphasizing the manifestation of his divine nature. Unique customs abound, such as the &#8220;King Cake&#8221; tradition in parts of the U.S. and Mexico, where a small figurine is hidden inside. The person who finds it is crowned &#8220;king&#8221; for the day, fostering a sense of community and festivity. In Spain and Latin American countries, the holiday often features parades and the giving of gifts, reflecting its deep cultural roots. Epiphany serves as a reminder of the universal message of hope and light that transcends geographic and cultural boundaries.<\/p>\n<h3>Deutsch-Franz\u00f6sischer Tag Einf\u00fchrung<\/h3>\n<p>Franco-German Day, celebrated on January 22, commemorates the signing of the \u00c9lys\u00e9e Treaty in 1963, which solidified the friendship between France and Germany following the tumultuous period of World War II. This partnership aimed to foster peace, cooperation, and integration across Europe. The day serves as a reminder of the transformation from historical enmity to a strong bilateral relationship, emphasizing cultural exchanges, economic collaboration, and mutual understanding. Notably, this initiative has significantly contributed to the foundation of the European Union. Celebrations often include educational events, cultural activities, and joint projects that highlight the shared heritage and values of both nations, showcasing the power of reconciliation and unity in diversity.<\/p>\n<h3>Gedenktag f\u00fcr die Opfer des Nationalsozialismus Einleitung<\/h3>\n<p>Remembrance Day for the Victims of National Socialism, observed on January 27th, is a solemn occasion dedicated to honoring the millions who suffered and perished under the regime of Nazi Germany. This date marks the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1945, one of the largest and most notorious concentration camps. Established by the German Federal Government in 1996, the day serves as a poignant reminder of the atrocities committed during the Holocaust and the broader implications of totalitarianism and hatred. It encourages reflection on the importance of tolerance, human rights, and the need to confront prejudice and discrimination in all forms. Educational initiatives and memorial events take place globally, fostering understanding and ensuring that the lessons of history are not forgotten. This day also prompts discussions about the responsibilities of individuals and societies in preventing such horrors from recurring.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Datum Feiertag Name 01.01.2026 Neujahr 06.01.2026 Dreik\u00f6nigstag 06.01.2026 Dreik\u00f6nigstag 22.01.2026 Deutsch-Franz\u00f6sischer Tag 27.01.2026 Gedenktag f\u00fcr die Opfer des Nationalsozialismus 14.02.2026 Valentinstag 16.02.2026 Rosenmontag 16.02.2026 Hizir Fast 17.02.2026 Rosendienstag 18.02.2026 Karneval \/ Aschermittwoch 08.03.2026 Internationaler Frauentag 08.03.2026 Internationaler Frauentag 08.03.2026 Internationaler Frauentag 17.03.2026 St. Patrick\u2019s\u2026<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","slim_seo":{"title":"Public Holidays in Germany for 2026 - Public Holiday Calendar","description":"Date Holiday Name 2026-01-01 New Year's Day 2026-01-06 Epiphany 2026-01-06 Epiphany 2026-01-22 Franco-German Day 2026-01-27 Remembrance Day for the Victims of N"},"footnotes":""},"categories":[66,134],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-375","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-europe","category-germany"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.publicholidaycalendar.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.publicholidaycalendar.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.publicholidaycalendar.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.publicholidaycalendar.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.publicholidaycalendar.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=375"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.publicholidaycalendar.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.publicholidaycalendar.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=375"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.publicholidaycalendar.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=375"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.publicholidaycalendar.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=375"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
