FAQs about German Calendar 2025

Essential information about German holidays, business practices, and calendar arrangements

What are the main public holidays in Germany for 2025?

Germany has several nationwide public holidays in 2025, including: • New Year's Day (January 1) • Good Friday (April 18) • Easter Monday (April 21) • Labor Day (May 1) • Ascension Day (May 29) • Whit Monday (June 9) • German Unity Day (October 3) • Christmas Day (December 25) • Boxing Day (December 26)

Are German public holidays the same in all states?

No, while some holidays are observed nationwide, each German state (Bundesland) has its own additional public holidays. For example: • Epiphany (January 6) is a holiday in Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, and Saxony-Anhalt • Corpus Christi is celebrated in several Catholic-majority states • Reformation Day (October 31) is observed in many northern states Please check your specific state's holiday calendar for accurate planning.

How do public holidays affect business operations in Germany?

During public holidays in Germany: • Most businesses, shops, and offices are closed • Public transportation runs on holiday schedules • Essential services remain operational • Banks and post offices are closed • Grocery stores are typically closed (except in train stations and airports) Plan ahead as the day before holidays often sees early closures and increased shopping activity.

What is the 'Bridge Day' (Brückentag) concept in German holidays?

A 'Bridge Day' (Brückentag) is a workday that falls between a public holiday and a weekend. Many Germans take these days off to create a longer weekend. For 2025: • May 2 (between Labor Day and weekend) • May 30 (between Ascension Day and weekend) Popular bridge days are often busy travel times and should be considered when planning business activities or travel.

How should businesses prepare for German holidays in 2025?

To effectively manage operations around German holidays: • Plan inventory and staffing well in advance • Communicate closure dates to international partners • Consider regional variations in holiday observance • Account for reduced productivity around major holidays • Schedule important meetings and deadlines away from holiday periods Early planning is especially important for Christmas and Easter periods.
