    1. In the predominantly Protestant north and east, Reformation Day (October 31) commemorates Martin Luther’s 1517 theses and the start of the Reformation. In the mostly Catholic south and west, All Saints’ Day (November 1) honours the saints and departed faithful.

      Berlin and Hesse, however, mark neither, making them workdays while much of the rest of the country enjoys a holiday.

      As a German, having different holidays in each state is so stupid.

      Celebrating schism will always be baffling to me. If you are a Christian, you should mourn our lack of unity.

    5. Totally forgot about that. Now I know why it was so relaxed at the office in NRW today.

    6. The Reformers didn’t go far enough. Some were on a good track like Karsltadt, but were silenced or persecuted even by Luther himself. Nonetheless, Reformation is an admirable event

    7. Is there a country in Europe that celebrates both days as a public/bank holiday?
