2013 Einstein Calendar - Einstein-Kalender
In addition to monthly quotations by Albert Einstein, the 2013 calendar also features the birthdays of more than 160 notable German-speaking personalities. The words of Einstein, who was at various times a citizen of Germany, Switzerland and the USA – when he wasn't a stateless person, are in the original German with English translations.

Ideal for expats, plus students and teachers of German
The AboutGerman.net calendar combines significant dates in German-speaking Europe with important American and Candian dates – something no other calendar does! Now, instead of two calendars, you only need one.

The week starts on Monday
As with most things related to daily culture, there is more than one way to format a calendar. A European or German calendar does not look like an American calendar. The main reason for this is that a week in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy or Spain begins on Monday, and their calendars reflect that. The advantage of starting on Monday, rather than Sunday, is that it puts the two weekend days together. Saturday and Sunday are not split up, as on a US calendar, but remain paired at the end of the week – better reflecting how we actually think of a weekend.

German and US Holidays
Our unique calendar features a blend of significant dates for the USA and Canada, as well as official and unofficial holidays in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. You'll also find observances that are widely celebrated but are not legal holidays (Halloween, Internationaler Frauentag, Silvester, etc.).

A good resource for learning more about all the holidays in Germany, Austria and Switzerland is this German Way page: German Celebrations and Holidays. Also see our many German-English glossaries for specific holidays.

To learn more about notable German-speaking people of today and yesterday, see this German Way page: Famous Austrians, Germans, Swiss.
