In Germany, during the [[Cold War]], Children's Day (Kindertag) was handled quite differently in West Germany and East Germany.
The [[convention (norm)|customs]] of Children's Day
After the [[German reunification|reunification of East and West Germany]] occurred in 1990, ''Universal Children's Day'' has become official for whole Germany. This, however, was not accepted by large parts of the East German population. Most parents still celebrate Children's Day on the former date of 1 June, and public events pertaining to Children's Day take place on 20 September ({{lang|de|Weltkindertag}}).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.unicef.de/mitmachen/weltkindertag|title=Weltkindertag 2014: Jedes Kind hat Rechte – UNICEF Mitmachen|access-date=1 June 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160421130838/https://www.unicef.de/mitmachen/weltkindertag|archive-date=21 April 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.weltkindertag.de/wkt/|title=Startseite|access-date=1 June 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140503050330/http://www.weltkindertag.de/wkt/|archive-date=3 May 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref> Since 2019 it is a state holiday in the former GDR state of [[Thuringia]].
