Saarland Business Day Calculator
Last reviewed: October 14, 2026 · Holiday data: August 24, 2026
Calculate business days in Saarland with its own statewide Feiertage. Like the Germany calculator, this page counts Monday to Friday as working days; what changes is the Feiertage list, so due dates and deadlines can land differently from the count built on the 9 nationwide Feiertage.
How Saarland differs from the nationwide German holidays
Saarland adds three Feiertage to the nationwide German Feiertage. The Interior Ministry's list of gesetzliche Feiertage names der Fronleichnamstag, der Maria Himmelfahrtstag (15. August) and der Allerheiligentag (1. November) alongside the nationwide days. Fronleichnam falls on Thursday 4 June 2026, 27 May 2027 and 15 June 2028. Mariä Himmelfahrt falls on a Saturday in 2026, a Sunday in 2027 and a Tuesday in 2028; Allerheiligen on a Sunday in 2026, a Monday in 2027 and a Wednesday in 2028. So Fronleichnam alone changes the 2026 count, Fronleichnam and Allerheiligen change the 2027 count, and all three change the 2028 count.
Worked example
Adding 1 business day to Wednesday, June 3, 2026 using Saarland's Feiertage lands on Friday, June 5, 2026. With the 9 nationwide German Feiertage, the same calculation lands on Thursday, June 4, 2026: the gap comes from Saarland's own calendar.
