Sure, we have 4th July. It's exactly between the 3rd and the 5 th July.
We don't celebrate American holidays as well as the Americans dont celebrate the German ones. |

Well yes they do we all have a 4th of July but I am not sure whether it is of any significant for them. |

cavis is right, but we don't celebrate it the way Americans do on 4th of July. For most Germans, the 3rd of October (reunification day) is simply a day off work. There are official events, and special TV broadcasts remembering the opening of the Berlin wall, but that's about it.
The problem with our national holiday is: The Berlin wall actually came down on Nov 9th 1989. Unfortunately, Nov 9th 1938 was the so-called "Reichskristallnacht", the night in which the burning of the synagogues and attacks on Jewish shops took place under the Hitler regime. Now, making Nov 9th a national holiday would obviously have been a bad idea, so they took Oct 3rd instead, the day the reunification treaties were ratified in 1990. However, there's no real emotions connected to that.
But I think most Germans are doing fine without national holiday celebrations. We have fireworks on New Year's Eve, and that's good enough.
Now you might ask: What did we have BEFORE 1990? In West Germany, it was the 17th of June, also quite a sad day: On June 17th 1953, the workers' uprising in East Germany was put down by the Soviet Army. That day became a national rememberance day in the West the following year and was later known as the "day of German unity" ("Tag der deutschen Einheit").
So you see: Nothing to celebrate here. |

The Day of German Unity is a national holiday in Germany, celebrated on October 3, which commemorates the anniversary of German reunification in 1990. |

Yes Germany have Independence or National Day. They started it October 3 1990, so they celebrate every Oct 3 of the year. |
