Holidays in All 16 Federal States

These dates belong in every Germany public holiday calendar for 2027: New Year's Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Labour Day, Ascension Day, Whit Monday, German Unity Day, Christmas Day, and the Second Day of Christmas. Their dates are national, even when the practical value of a day off is reduced because the holiday falls on a weekend.

State-Specific Public Holidays

Regional schedules add holidays such as Epiphany, International Women's Day, Corpus Christi, World Children's Day, Reformation Day, All Saints' Day, and Repentance and Prayer Day. Check the selected state's calendar instead of assuming that a closure in Bavaria, Berlin, Saxony, or another Bundesland applies throughout Germany.

2027 dates that need closer attention
  • Good Friday, Easter Sunday in Brandenburg, Easter Monday, Whit Sunday in Brandenburg, and Whit Monday all fall in March or May under the movable feast rules.
  • German Unity Day and Reformation Day both fall on Sunday, and neither creates a general Monday substitute date.
  • Christmas Day and the Second Day of Christmas fall on Saturday and Sunday, so weekday leave planning needs to be arranged separately.

Partial-State and Municipal Public Holidays

  • Corpus ChristiStatutorily listed local areas in Saxony and Thuringia. Applies only in legally specified local areas; users must check the local rule.
  • Augsburg Peace FestivalCity of Augsburg, Bavaria. Municipal statutory public holiday only within the City of Augsburg.
  • Assumption DayQualifying municipalities in Bavaria. Applies only in Bavarian municipalities meeting the legal population condition.

Public Holiday Rules and Planning in Germany

What Happens When a Public Holiday Falls on a Weekend in Germany?

Germany generally keeps a statutory holiday on its calendar date. A Saturday or Sunday holiday does not automatically create a Monday substitute. Check the actual weekday before booking leave, arranging deliveries, or assuming that offices will close on an adjacent working day.

Public Holiday Pay and Work in Germany

Under Germany's Continued Remuneration Act, an employee who loses working time because a statutory public holiday falls on a scheduled workday is generally entitled to the pay they would have received. The applicable holiday is determined by the place of work, and sector rules, collective agreements, or lawful Sunday and holiday work provisions may affect scheduling.

Brückentage and Long Weekend Planning

A Brückentag is a working day taken as leave between a public holiday and a weekend. Thursday holidays such as Ascension Day and Corpus Christi can create useful four-day breaks when Friday leave is available. Regional holidays only create that opportunity where the holiday is legally observed.
