Events of September 18th Unraveled - On the 18th of September, events transpired.
In the annals of history, September 18th has been a day of momentous events, from political milestones to cultural celebrations and tragic losses. Let's take a journey through time and explore some of these notable occurrences.
1905 saw the passing of Greta Garbo, a legendary American film actress, known for her roles in "Camille," "Mata Hari," and "Anna Karenina." Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, 1975 marked the birth of Jason Sudeikis, an American actor who would later find fame in the TV series "Ted Lasso" and the film "We're the Millers."
Fast forward to 1960, and Wolfgang Bahro, a well-known German actor and cabaret artist, was born. In the same year, Jimi Hendrix, the iconic American rock guitarist and singer, founded his band, the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Unfortunately, Hendrix passed away in 1970.
Moving ahead to political events, 1925 saw the SPD (Social Democratic Party) in Germany demand the establishment of "United States of Europe" in the Heidelberg Program, a response to the lessons learned from World War I.
1962 witnessed the birth of Timotheus Höttges, who would later become the CEO of Deutsche Telekom.
Fast forward to 2005, and a parliament was elected in Afghanistan for the first time in 36 years, with nearly 2,800 candidates competing for 249 seats. However, parties were not allowed in this election. The Union party became the strongest, securing 35.2 percent of the votes, but neither the Red-Green nor the Black-Yellow coalition achieved a majority.
In November of the same year, Angela Merkel (CDU) formed a coalition with the SPD and succeeded Federal Chancellor Gerhard Schröder (SPD). However, the events of September 18th, 2005, were not without controversy, as they involved the formation of a new government in Germany.
2010 saw up to 100,000 people demonstrate in Berlin against the federal government's nuclear policy, specifically the plan to extend the operating lives of nuclear power plants by an average of twelve years. This protest was a significant event in German political history.
Unfortunately, the session and street carnival of the 2020/21 season was cancelled in North Rhine-Westphalia due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. However, on September 18, 2025, Germany celebrated the Name Days of Lantpert and Richardis, and ProSieben aired Heidi Klum's first "HeidiFest" at the Hofbräuhaus in Munich, marking a pre-Oktoberfest party featuring several stars.
It's clear that September 18th has been a day of significant events across the decades, from births and deaths to political milestones and cultural celebrations. Whether it's the birth of a future star or a political shift that changes the course of a nation, each September 18th has left its mark on history.
