In Germany in, is there a commemoration kind of day which corresponds " Father's day "?


I hope I understand your question correctly.
Well, there is a day in germany called 'Vatertag' (father's day).
It is tomorrow (24.05.)
Officially, this day is a religious holiday (Christi Himmelfahrt), but unofficially, this day is called 'Vatertag' by most of the germans.
Since the Mothers have their special commemoration day (Muttertag), the fathers wanted to have a special holiday too. So they started to celebrate the 'Himmelfahrt' day as a Father's day.
The fathers make trips to the country (on bikes), some wear funny straw hats and sometimes they drink a lot of beer ;-).
But keep in mind that 'Vatertag' is not an official commemoration day here in germany.
