When planning calls, meetings, or project deadlines with contacts in Germany, check this calendar first. National holidays often mean offices are closed, response times are slower, and banking services may be limited. Regional holidays (marked as "Regional" in the table above) may only affect specific states or provinces.
Germany has 9 national public holidays in 2027. There are also 10 regional observances that may affect specific areas. For recurring international work, build these dates into your project calendar at the start of the year.
