The meteorological start of spring (Frühlingsanfang) in Germany is officially on March 1st, marking the beginning of the new season based on calendar months rather than the astronomical equinox.
While not a public holiday, it’s celebrated as a time of renewal, longer daylight, and the first signs of greenery and flowers emerging after winter.
Germans often welcome the season with outdoor walks, garden preparations, and seasonal foods like asparagus and fresh herbs, embracing the gradual return of warmth and vitality.
