The 2026 table for Saarland lists 12 dates: 8 fall on a weekday and 4 on a weekend. That leaves 253 working days in 2026. Like the Germany calculator, this page counts Monday to Friday as working days; what changes is the holiday list.
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.
