In Germany, non-working public holidays are referred to as gesetzliche Feiertage and are regulated at both federal and state level. Since legislation falls under state jurisdiction, the number of public holidays varies considerably depending on the federal state – Bavaria has the most with approximately 13 public holidays, while states such as Berlin or Hamburg have only 9 gesetzliche Feiertage. For payroll processing and workforce planning, it is therefore essential to always take into account state-specific regulations.
What happens if a gesetzlicher Feiertag falls on a Saturday or Sunday – is there a replacement working day?
No, Germany does not have a statutory replacement day system. If a public holiday falls on a weekend, the day off is forfeited without compensation – employees have no entitlement to a make-up day during the week. This should be taken into account accordingly when planning annual working hours and calculating working days.
Is Christmas Eve (24 December) a gesetzlicher Feiertag in Germany?
No, 24 December is not a gesetzlicher Feiertag. In many companies, it is treated as a half working day through collective agreements, works agreements, or established company practice, but there is no statutory entitlement to time off. Employers should therefore verify which individual or collective regulations apply in their organization. The statutory public holidays are 25 December (Christmas Day) and 26 December (Boxing Day).
What is a Brückentag and what is its significance in employment law?
A Brückentag is a term used in German to describe a working day that falls between a gesetzlicher Feiertag and a weekend – for example, a Friday following Ascension Day. This is a cultural phenomenon rather than a statutory public holiday. Employees must formally request leave for a Brückentag if they wish to take time off.
How many gesetzliche Feiertage apply uniformly across all federal states in Germany?
Germany has nine gesetzliche Feiertage that apply equally across all 16 federal states: New Year's Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Labour Day (1 May), Ascension Day, Whit Monday, German Unity Day (3 October), and Christmas Day and Boxing Day. In addition, the federal states have the right to designate further state-specific public holidays, which is why the total number ranges between 9 and 13 public holidays depending on the state.
Which federal states have particularly many or particularly few gesetzliche Feiertage, and what does this mean for working time calculations?
Bavaria has the most gesetzliche Feiertage in Germany with approximately 13, including state-specific holidays such as Epiphany (6 January), Corpus Christi, Assumption of Mary, and All Saints' Day. At the other end of the spectrum are federal states such as Berlin, Bremen, Hamburg, Lower Saxony, and Schleswig-Holstein with only 9 public holidays each. For calculating annual working days, leave entitlements, and payroll processing, it is therefore essential to consider the workplace location of each employee.
