How Bremen differs from the nationwide German holidays
Bremen's Gesetz über die Sonn-, Gedenk- und Feiertage (§ 2) adds der Reformationstag to the nationwide days in its list of staatlich anerkannte Feiertage; this calendar places it on 31 October. It falls on a Saturday in 2026 and a Sunday in 2027, so Bremen's working-day count equals the nationwide German count in those years; in 2028 it falls on a Tuesday and closes one more weekday.
