World Children’s Day in Thuringia, Germany has roots in both the UN’s call for children’s rights (1954) and Germany’s postwar traditions (June 1 in the East, September 20 in the West). It is celebrated with public events, children’s rights campaigns, and symbolic recognition of the importance of children in society.

St. Rupert’s Day is a regional holiday in Salzburg, Austria that honors St. Rupert of Salzburg (c. 660–710), the city’s founder, first bishop, and patron saint.
