Never heard it called that in Germany. Sounds strange, too romtantic/melancholic for 2021 anyway.
I think “fateful day” or “Day of Fate(s)” would probably be the better translation. Basically there were events both good and horrible happening on this day that have shaped the fate of Germany till today.
Because a lot of important notes in German history fall on the 9th of November.
* 1848: Execution of [Robert Blum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Blum)
* 1918: Abdication of the Kaiser, proclaimation of the Republic. Also: Armistice ending WW1 signed two days later
* 1923: Hitler’s and Ludendorff’s Beer Hall Putsch in Munich
* 1938: “November Pogrome” – after years of perpetually worsening discriminations, large nationwide pogromes agains Jews mark the official beginning of persecution of Jewish life itself in Germany
* 1989: Fall of the Berlin Wall, opening of the Inner-German border
