Frequently asked questions
When are the next school holidays in Germany?
School holidays vary by state. Each of the 16 German Bundeslaender sets its own calendar. Use the state grid above to find the next holiday period for your state.
How many types of school holidays are there?
Germany has six types of school holidays: winter, Easter (Osterferien), Whitsun (Pfingstferien), summer, autumn, and Christmas. Not every state observes all six — some skip winter or Whitsun holidays.
What are Brueckentage (bridge days)?
Brueckentage are strategic vacation days taken between a public holiday and a weekend, turning a short break into a longer one. Each detail page shows which bridge days fall near that holiday period.
How can I plan around school holidays?
Open any holiday detail page to see the exact date range, duration, and nearby bridge days. Use the Days Between Dates calculator to count working days and plan your time off.
