G'day Silver and Gold,
Thank you for your question.
No. The only place outside the US which celebrates Thanksgiving is Canada which celebrates it on the second monday in November. In the UK, the name Thanksgiving is another name for the Harvest Festival celebrated in churches at the end of the local harvest but it is not nearly as important as the US. However, it may have been part of the origins of Thanksgiving.
The only place in Germany where Thanksgiving will be celebrated will be US armed services bases.
I have attached sources for your reference including German holidays.
Regards

We started celebrating Thanksgiving in the U.S. in the mid 1900's. Roosevelt declared it a national Holiday in 1944. Before that Lincoln tried to but it didn't catch on at that time. It became a holiday to extend the Christmas shopping season. As far as the first "Thanksgiving" is concerned, it took place in 1623 and was a feast to celebrate the harvest after a long drought. The Wampanoag Indians and the first "new comers" (White People) were both present at this feast. They had been the ones to teach the new comers how to survive here and were later "thanked" by being slaughtered, raped, enslaved, and driven from their lands. There are only a few descendants left of this tribe today. Thanksgiving is a load of crap in my opinion and shouldn't be celebrated anywhere.
