Erntedank: Thanksgiving Customs in Germany and the USA

The observance usually takes place in September or October, depending on the region. Similar harvest festivals are common in many countries and regions around the globe.

Have you heard of it?
 
Do the Germans overeat and then get up early the next morning to trample other shoppers?
 
No Pilgrims in Deutschland? :)
There are some.
They walk a few miles to a fine old monastary with a brewery.
Have a few beers there - and then take the bus home.

"Wallfahrer" or "Pilger" in German :)

Pilgrims progress. I heard about that but I never paid attention to it. I don't like the idea of being a pilgrim of any kind.
Let us talk about the German way of thanksgiving.
