Rheinland-Pfalz Public Holidays 2028
Last reviewed: May 19, 2026 · Holiday data: June 25, 2026
Rheinland-Pfalz 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 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.
Added in Rheinland-Pfalz (2028)

- Allerheiligen (Wednesday, November 1)
Effect on the working-day count
Rheinland-Pfalz observes all nine nationwide German Feiertage and adds its own on top; none are dropped.
