Germany’s regional holidays are now part of the picture. Your state regional holiday can add some meaningful opportunities for a longer break, from Epiphany in Bavaria to International Women’s Day in Berlin and the Day of Prayer and Repentance in Saxony.

Choose any of the 16 federal states to combine the curated nationwide 2027 calendar with your regional public holidays, then let the optimizer place your PTO around those dates and weekends.

A calendar for your state

Bavaria’s calendar includes Epiphany, Corpus Christi, Assumption Day, and All Saints’ Day. Berlin includes International Women’s Day. Brandenburg includes Easter Sunday and Reformation Day, while Thuringia includes World Children’s Day. Other regional calendars cover their own observances, including Corpus Christi, Reformation Day, and All Saints’ Day where applicable.

Selecting a state also keeps your plan’s scope clear. If you change regions, calendar choices tied to the previous holiday scope are reset rather than accidentally carried into an incompatible plan.

Try it

Open the Germany planner, choose your federal state, enter your vacation allowance, and run an optimization. Shuffle through the ranked alternatives to find the breaks that fit your year. Holiday dates and employer rules can change, so confirm them with official state guidance and your employer before booking.
