How Rheinland-Pfalz differs from the nationwide German holidays
Rhineland-Palatinate adds two Feiertage to the nationwide German Feiertage: Fronleichnam and Allerheiligen on 1 November. The Interior Ministry's list of gesetzliche Feiertage gives Fronleichnam on Thursday 4 June 2026 and Thursday 27 May 2027, and Allerheiligen on Sunday 1 November 2026 and Monday 1 November 2027. For 2028 this calendar puts Fronleichnam on Thursday 15 June and Allerheiligen on Wednesday 1 November. Fronleichnam shortens the count in every year; Allerheiligen does so in 2027 and 2028.
