Google doodle today: German Reunification Day 2016

On this day in 1990, East Germany and West Germany officially joined together as one for the first time since 1945. Though the Berlin Wall separating the two countries fell in 1989, it wasn't until 1990 that East and West Germany signed a treaty to re-unify and on October 3, East Germany formally joined West Germany. To celebrate the Day of German Unity, festivals are held all over the country, with traditional food, drink, concerts, and horse racing. In addition to a large celebration at Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, the headquarters of German Unity Day change every year. The artist collective WRK (http://ift.tt/2cLPITu) collaborated with the Doodle Team today to celebrate the union of East and West Germany. The colors of the German flag come together today, as the country comes together to commemorate this unity. *** Name of doodle: German Reunification Day 2016 This doodle was shown: 03.10.2016 Countries, in which doodle was shown: Germany Link to doodle image: http://ift.tt/2dCjlYI
