Baden-Württemberg observes 12 Feiertage in 2026: 9 fall on a weekday and 3 land on a weekend, leaving 252 working days across the year. The working week is Monday to Friday with a Saturday and Sunday weekend, the same as the rest of Germany; what changes is the Bundesland's set of Feiertage.
How Baden-Württemberg differs from the nationwide German holidays
Baden-Württemberg observes three Feiertage beyond the nine nationwide German holidays: Heilige Drei Könige on 6 January, Fronleichnam (Corpus Christi) on the Thursday 60 days after Easter, and Allerheiligen on 1 November. All three are statewide gesetzliche Feiertage under the Feiertagsgesetz Baden-Württemberg and close banks, offices, and shops, so a business-day count for the Land is shorter than the federal-only count. The working week is Monday to Friday with a Saturday and Sunday weekend; the difference comes from the holiday set, not the weekend.
