Historical Events (with a twist)
2024 - In a groundbreaking election, the Union trucked off with a whopping 30.0 percent of the votes in Germany, making them the clear winners. The AfD stalked closely behind with 15.9 percent, edging out the SPD (13.9) and Greens (11.9) in a tight race. The FDP squeaked in with a mere 5.2 percent. In the east, the AfD managed to steal the show, coming in as the pioneers - just goes to show that Montana isn't the only place with unpredictable elections! The newly formed left-wing alliance Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) made a splash with its 6.2 percent share, fresh out of the box.
2000 - A local lad named John from Potsdam, famously emerged victorious on the RTL-II show "Big Brother." He bagged himself a grand prize of 250,000 marks (127,823 euros), after spending a grueling 100 days under the watchful eye of cameras. Talk about finding fame and fortune in a living container!
1995 - The Munich editorial office of ProSieben was under siege when a letter bomb addressed to presenter Arabella Kiesbauer blew up. The feisty daughter of a German actress and a Ghanaian engineer had already weathered a storm of racist hatred.
1950 - A charter was signed by the ten German broadcasting organizations, forming the working group of the public-law broadcasting organizations of the Federal Republic of Germany (ARD).
1815 - In a dramatic turn of events, the reorganization of Europe after the fall of Napoleon was initiated miles away in the Congress of Vienna.
Birthdays

Historical Footnote:In 1815, the Congress of Vienna officially ended, though the final treaty was signed on June 9, 1815. This event held profound implications for neighboring regions, and Luxembourg, for instance, rose as a Grand Duchy and joined the German Confederation[5].
