Today is celebrated Germany Unity Day (Tag der Deutschen Einheit), the national day of the German country. The signing of the reunification contract by the governments of the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic is commemorated.
The reunification contract, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Peaceful Revolution in the GDR, gave rise to the modern and civilized country that we know today.
In Marbella, it is an important date, since the German community is important both in the city and throughout the province. Only in Marbella we will find between 1,500 and 2,000 residents from this emblematic country.
Due to the current situation, the events planned to commemorate this important day in Marbella have been suspended. Only the flag raising will be carried out.
