The 2028 table for Nordrhein-Westfalen lists 11 dates: 10 fall on a weekday and 1 on a weekend. That leaves 250 working days in 2028. Like the Germany calculator, this page counts Monday to Friday as working days; what changes is the holiday list.
How Nordrhein-Westfalen differs from the nationwide German holidays
North Rhine-Westphalia's Feiertagsgesetz (§ 2) adds two Feiertage to the nationwide ones: der Fronleichnamstag and der Allerheiligentag (1 November). Fronleichnam falls on Thursday 4 June 2026, Thursday 27 May 2027 and Thursday 15 June 2028 and shortens the count each year. Allerheiligen falls on a Sunday in 2026 (no effect), a Monday in 2027 and a Wednesday in 2028, when it closes a further weekday.
