St Georges Day, Nov. 19th--Time to celebrate like the Irish on Paddy's Day
I take it the OP means November 20th, which is St Edmund Day, to some the true Patron Saint of England.
Careful you don't upset the minorities
Isn't the support of St Edmund just another tired vehicle for xenophobia?

Saints == Catholic Church
No, C of E has saints too.
Interestingly, there are two Saint Edmunds, both English and both with feast days in November. Edmund the Martyr is indeed 20 Nov, while St Edmund Rich is on 16 November - I knew about the former, but not the latter,
Brovion is right: we need a TRIED and TESTED English saint - it's curious to note that of the four patron saints of the British Isles, only David is from the country he represents

St Edmund is a TRIED saint.
If you say so, never mind you living in Germany means you don't have to worry about who is and is not celebrated. Those that want to celebrate whichever patron Saint are free to do so imo. You shove whatever cliche you want in....from miles away.
