Bremen Business Day Calculator
Last reviewed: May 19, 2026 · Holiday data: June 24, 2026
Calculate business days in Bremen with its own statewide Feiertage. Bremen shares the Monday to Friday working week and the Saturday and Sunday weekend with the rest of Germany, but its Feiertage calendar is different, so due dates and deadlines can land differently from the count built on the nine nationwide Feiertage.
How Bremen differs from the nationwide German holidays
Bremen, the two-city Hanseatic state of Bremen and Bremerhaven, adds Reformationstag on 31 October as its single statewide Feiertag, observed since 2018. Reformationstag falls on a Saturday in 2026 and a Sunday in 2027, so for both shipped years it is absorbed into the weekend and Bremen's working-day count equals the nationwide German count; the difference shows up in years where 31 October is a weekday. The working week is Monday to Friday with a Saturday and Sunday weekend, so it is the Feiertag, not the weekend, that drives any difference.
Worked example
Adding 2 business days to Thursday, October 29, 2026 using Bremen's Feiertage lands on Monday, November 2, 2026.
