The 2028 table for Niedersachsen 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 Niedersachsen differs from the nationwide German holidays
Lower Saxony adds one Feiertag to the nationwide German Feiertage: der 31. Oktober as Reformationstag, which the Interior Ministry says was added to the staatlich anerkannte Feiertage by an amending act of 22 June 2018. It falls on a Saturday in 2026 and a Sunday in 2027, so the Lower Saxon working-day count equals the nationwide count in those years; in 2028 it falls on a Tuesday and closes one more weekday. The ministry's list contains no Fronleichnam or Allerheiligen.
