## **How Public Holidays Work in Germany**

Germany has 9 nationwide public holidays. There are no substitute days: a holiday that falls on a weekend is simply lost.

States add up to 5 more, e.g. Epiphany (BW, BY, ST), Corpus Christi (mostly Catholic states), Reformation Day (northern and eastern states), and All Saints' Day (BW, BY, NW, RP, SL). Bavaria has the most.
