On 3rd of October the German nation celebrates the Unity Day, when the reunification of the nation was formally completed.
The reunification of Germany was officially held on 3rd of October 1990, when RFG, RDG and other four forces occupying Germany concluded the “Two plus four” treaty. One year later, the German Parliament decided to move the capital from Bonn to Berlin and remained as so even nowadays.
The German minority in Romania also celebrates this important event in the history of Germany, thanks to Friedrich Schiller Kulturhaus director, Mrs. Mariana Duliu, where took place the photography exhibition opening “THE BAVARIAN CHARM” by Dr. Klaus Fabritius – President of FDGR, presented by State Undersecretary of the Interethnic Relations Department of Romanian Government, Mrs. Christiane Gertrud Cosmatu, and special guest, Mr. Cord Meier-Klodt the Federal Republic of Germany Ambassador in Romania.
The opening was accompanied by German, Romanian and EU anthems played by musical illustration orchestra “Karpaten – Show”.
One by one, the guests took over the audience, in bilingual languages, remembering the importance of falling Berlin’s wall, in November 1989.
The German Ambassador in Romania spoke about not only the multicultural and multilingual areas, but also state’s and individual’s rights that should have a common way.
Unfortunately, there are countries where the principle “me first” applies, and this is not the case. Since Romania is a beautiful and diverse country, the unity by diversity and finding a common way, would be a great step for all of us. Through other challenges, we leave in a world of multiple chances that we have to take advantage of. The rule of law, the democracy and minorities protection, represent the values that both Germany and Romania promotes, the Ambassador said.
Further to his speech, it was not easy to remember the slander of German minority by the political parties, which is unacceptable nowadays.
The photography exhibition was presented by both Mrs. Cosmatu and Mr. Fabritius, with remarkable images from the largest German land, Bavaria. There is a lot to be said about Bavaria. It is crossed by the Danube from West to East, has 13 million inhabitants (10% foreigners), 75.000 km2 and Alps Mountains on South. It also has 600 natural reservations, 2 natural biosphere (Berchtesgaden and Rohn), 2 national parks (Bayerischer Wald and Berchtesgaden) and 18 natural parks. Here you may also find 5 UNESCO heritage objectives, and the largest pipe organ in the world. The capital of Bavaria is in Munchen and many beautiful cities complete the land: Nurnberg, Wurzburg, Passau.
Also during the exhibition, astonishing landscapes and natural fauna was presented from Danube Delta region, Romania.
The celebration session ended up with a dinner party accompanied by the “Karpaten – Show” orchestra.
Every year, the photography exhibition will include a specific land from Germany and all people passing by are invited at Casa de Cultura Schiller Bucharest these days, to admire the real beauties of both Germany and Romania countries.
