The tear-off calendar was probably inspired by calendar sheets with short texts from England and came to Germany in 1882 at the latest. Traditionally, it consists of a block of sheets with the respective date and information about the day of the week and, if applicable, a special holiday or occasion. Optionally, moon phases, details of the zodiac sign or similar information are included. Usually, the weekdays are printed in black, Saturday in pale red and Sunday in rich red. It also offers space to add your own information and notes. The popular calendar is now available in many variations, for example as a themed calendar with riddles, jokes or sayings, with picture series or as a calendar for children.
