Nordrhein-Westfalen Public Holidays 2028

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

Nordrhein-Westfalen 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 Nordrhein-Westfalen differs from the nationwide German holidays

North Rhine-Westphalia, the most populous German state, adds two statewide Feiertage: Fronleichnam (Corpus Christi) on the Thursday 60 days after Easter and Allerheiligen on 1 November. Fronleichnam is a Thursday in both 2026 and 2027 and shortens the count each year; Allerheiligen falls on a Sunday in 2026 (no effect) and a Monday in 2027 (a further day off). The working week is Monday to Friday with a Saturday and Sunday weekend, so the two Catholic Feiertage are what set the NRW count apart from the federal-only one.
