When is German Language Day?

Every year on September 12.

What is German Language Day?

German Language Day, observed on September 12th, celebrates the language spoken across Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and parts of Italy and Belgium. Established by the German Language Association and endorsed by the United Nations, the day invites people to learn a few German words, try a translated classic, or simply appreciate a language that shares roughly 60% of its vocabulary with English.

How to celebrate

Mark the day with a poster made in Dayfeed — pick your favourite photo as the background, share it to your story or group chat, and set a reminder so you never miss it next year.
