Calendar of public holidays and school holidays by Germany’s federal states

Public holiday and school holiday calendars in the federal states of Germany

German law establishes official public holidays that are non-working days, which apply throughout the whole of Germany. The legislative authorities of individual federal states may also set additional non-working days that apply only within a specific state. As a result, the number and dates of official public holidays may differ between the states (number of public holidays by federal state in Germany). In the same way, the timing and duration of school holidays are determined independently by the education authorities of each state, so school holiday dates vary across the different federal states. To view the calendar of public holidays and school holidays for each federal state separately, please visit the relevant dedicated page on our website.
