Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Public Holidays 2028

Last reviewed: May 19, 2026 · Holiday data: June 25, 2026

Mecklenburg-Vorpommern observes 11 Feiertage in 2028: 10 fall on a weekday and 1 land on a weekend, leaving 250 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 Mecklenburg-Vorpommern differs from the nationwide German holidays

Mecklenburg-Vorpommern adds two Feiertage beyond the nine nationwide German holidays: Internationaler Frauentag on 8 March, a gesetzlicher Feiertag in the state since 2023, and Reformationstag on 31 October. In 2026 both land 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. The working week is Monday to Friday with a Saturday and Sunday weekend.
