Father's Day is celebrated in many countries but Germans take it farther. First of all, it has different names depending on the region you are in, names can be Men's Day(Mannertag), Gentlemen's Day (Herrentag), and the common one which is Father's Day (Vatertag).
很多国家都有父亲节，但德国人过的不一样。首先，按你所在的地区，节日的名字都会不一样，有的地方是男人节（Mannertag），有的是绅士节（Herrentag），但是大部分用的是父亲节（Vatertag）。
This is a tradition day for men, young and old, to go out with their wagons, filled with alcohol and get drunk. It is almost a "Responsibility free day" for fathers and it is a public holiday.
这是男人的一个传统节日，无论是老少，男人们都会带着他们的马车出去，喝着酒。对父亲们来说，这几乎是一个“无责任日”，也是一个公共假日。
When is the Father's Day in Germany and how did it come to be?
在德国什么时候过父亲节，父亲节是怎么开始的？
The day is celebrated on the 40th day after Easter on a Thursday in May. The following Friday is usually a bruckentag or bridge day, which makes this weekend a 4 days weekend.
在德国，父亲节举办在五月份的星期四，复活节后的第四十天，父亲节的第二天，星期五是bruckentag或桥日，也是休息天，所以在这个周末德国人放假四天。
It began in the Middle Ages as a religious ceremony honoring "Gott, den Vater" or "God, the father" in the English language. During the 1700s the day transformed into Vatertag, a family day honoring the father of the household. It has since transformed into a "Boys' day out."
它是在中世纪作为一种宗教仪式开始的，纪念“Gott, den Vater”或“上帝，父亲”。在18世纪，这一天变成了瓦塔塔格，一个纪念家庭之父的家庭日。后来就变成了“男人节”。
