Bavaria has the most, with Epiphany, Corpus Christi, All Saints’ Day and the Assumption in its Catholic municipalities. Berlin adds International Women’s Day (since 2019, and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern since 2023), Thuringia has World Children’s Day, Saxony keeps Buß- und Bettag, and the eastern and northern states observe Reformation Day. Holidays that fall on a weekend are not moved to a weekday.

Good to know
Nine holidays apply in all of Germany; the states add up to five more. Holidays that fall on a weekend are not moved.
Corpus Christi is also a holiday in some Catholic communities of Saxony and Thuringia, and the city of Augsburg has the Peace Festival on 8 August — neither is included.
Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve are not public holidays, though many offices close at noon.
Count the days between two dates, minus these holidays, with the Germany working days calculator.

Questions
Is 15 August a holiday in all of Bavaria?
Only in municipalities with a mainly Catholic population — the large majority, including Munich. In Saarland it is a holiday everywhere.
What are calendar weeks (KW)?
Germany numbers weeks by ISO 8601: weeks start on Monday and week 1 is the week containing the year’s first Thursday. Every PDF here shows the KW beside each row.
How far ahead and back does the Germany calendar go?
Any year from 1990 to 2100, worked out from the holiday rules — fixed dates, Easter, nth weekdays and the substitution rules — with known one-off holidays and start and end years applied. Dates a government proclaims each year can change, so check official sources for future years.
Is anything sent to a server?
No. The holiday rules and every calculation run in your browser, and the PDF, calendar file and CSV are made on your device. Nothing you type — dates, extra days off — leaves it.
