Hessen Public Holidays 2028

Last reviewed: October 14, 2026 · Holiday data: August 24, 2026

The 2028 table for Hessen lists 10 dates: 9 fall on a weekday and 1 on a weekend. That leaves 251 working days in 2028. Like the Germany calculator, this page counts Monday to Friday as working days; what changes is the holiday list.

How Hessen differs from the nationwide German holidays

The Hessisches Feiertagsgesetz (§ 1 Abs. 1) lists the gesetzliche Feiertage as the Sundays and nine entries: the nationwide days, with the first and second Weihnachtstag as one entry, and der Fronleichnamstag. This calendar therefore adds one Feiertag to the nationwide German Feiertage for Hesse: Fronleichnam (Corpus Christi), on Thursday 4 June 2026, Thursday 27 May 2027 and Thursday 15 June 2028. Because it falls on a weekday in each of these years, it shortens the Hessian business-day count by one day compared with the nationwide count. Neither Allerheiligen nor Reformationstag is in § 1 Abs. 1.
