Father’s Day in Germany - Männertag, (Men's Day) or if you’re an Ossie,(East German) Herrentag - is celebrated on Ascension Day [this coming Thursday, May 21] and it’s a far cry from the Hallmark card bonanza celebrated in America…. It’s a day when men bond over funny anecdotes, bitch about their women and get as drunk as humanly possible. Traditionally, it’s a meeting of all ages: the older ones initiate the young. The day starts around noon and takes the form of a walking tour from village to village, with the men pulling beer-stuffed carts or riding bicycles with baskets filled with drink.
