The 2026 table for Berlin lists 10 dates: 7 fall on a weekday and 3 on a weekend. That leaves 254 working days in 2026. Like the Germany calculator, this page counts Monday to Friday as working days; what changes is the holiday list.
How Berlin differs from the nationwide German holidays
Berlin adds one Feiertag to the nationwide German Feiertage: der Frauentag (Internationaler Frauentag) on 8 March, which the list of gesetzliche Feiertage of the Senatsverwaltung für Inneres und Sport names alongside the nationwide days. 8 March falls on a Sunday in 2026, so it closes no weekday that year; it falls on a Monday in 2027 and a Wednesday in 2028, when it does. The same page names the Reformationstag as a religious holiday, not a gesetzlicher Feiertag, so it is not in this calendar.
