Berlin Public Holidays 2026
Last reviewed: May 19, 2026 · Holiday data: June 24, 2026
Berlin observes 10 Feiertage in 2026: 7 fall on a weekday and 3 land on a weekend, leaving 254 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 Berlin differs from the nationwide German holidays
Berlin adds a single Feiertag beyond the nine nationwide German holidays: Internationaler Frauentag on 8 March, a gesetzlicher Feiertag in the city-state since 2019. It is the only state holiday Berlin observes, so in years where 8 March falls on a weekday the Berlin business-day count is one day shorter than the federal-only count. In 2026 the day lands on a Sunday and so does not change the count; in 2027 it falls on a Monday and does. The working week is Monday to Friday with a Saturday and Sunday weekend.

Effect on the working-day count
Berlin observes all nine nationwide German Feiertage and adds its own on top; none are dropped.
