Local calculation

The calculation uses Saturday and Sunday as the normal weekend. Only some public holidays apply in every federal state. Several important dates are state-specific, so the subdivision label should be checked before planning leave or business closures.

Source and coverage

Calculated from stable statutory rules. Public holidays observed in every federal state; state-only holidays are omitted.

Primary source: German Federal Office for Logistics and Mobility holiday guidance. Critical payroll, legal and travel dates should still be confirmed with the relevant local authority.
