Rheinland-Pfalz Public Holidays 2026

Last reviewed: May 19, 2026 · Holiday data: June 24, 2026

Rheinland-Pfalz observes 11 Feiertage in 2026: 8 fall on a weekday and 3 land on a weekend, leaving 253 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 Rheinland-Pfalz differs from the nationwide German holidays

Rhineland-Palatinate adds two statewide Feiertage to the nine nationwide German holidays: Fronleichnam (Corpus Christi) on the Thursday 60 days after Easter and Allerheiligen on 1 November. Fronleichnam falls on a Thursday in both 2026 and 2027 and shortens the count both years; Allerheiligen lands on a Sunday in 2026 (no effect) and a Monday in 2027 (a further closure). With its strong Catholic tradition along the Rhine and Mosel, the state's holiday calendar runs longer than the federal-only set. The working week is Monday to Friday with a Saturday and Sunday weekend.
