How Mecklenburg-Vorpommern differs from the nationwide German holidays

This calendar adds two Feiertage to the nationwide German Feiertage for Mecklenburg-Vorpommern: Internationaler Frauentag on 8 March and Reformationstag on 31 October. In 2026 both fall on a weekend (8 March a Sunday, 31 October a Saturday), so the state count matches the nationwide one that year. In 2027 Internationaler Frauentag falls on a Monday and shortens the count, while Reformationstag falls on a Sunday. In 2028 both fall on weekdays (a Wednesday and a Tuesday).
