National Day of Mourning Observed in Germany
Annual Commemoration of Veterans and Victims of War
A Moment of Remembrance and Reflection
Every year on the second Sunday in November, Germany observes the National Day of Mourning (Volkstrauertag), a day dedicated to commemorating veterans and victims of war.
The day was first established in 1925 and has since become a solemn occasion for Germans to remember those who have lost their lives in conflicts around the world. It is also a time to reflect on the horrors of war and to call for peace.
On this day, ceremonies are held throughout Germany, including a wreath-laying ceremony at the Central Memorial of the Federal Republic of Germany in Berlin. People also visit cemeteries to pay their respects to fallen soldiers and civilians.
The National Day of Mourning is a reminder of the terrible cost of war and the importance of working towards peace. It is a day for all Germans to come together in solidarity and to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
