Saarland Public Holidays 2027

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

Saarland observes 12 Feiertage in 2027: 7 fall on a weekday and 5 land on a weekend, leaving 254 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 Saarland differs from the nationwide German holidays

Saarland has the longest holiday calendar of any German state. Beyond the nine nationwide holidays it adds Fronleichnam (Corpus Christi) on the Thursday 60 days after Easter, Mariä Himmelfahrt on 15 August, and Allerheiligen on 1 November. Unlike Bavaria, Saarland observes Mariä Himmelfahrt statewide rather than by municipality. In 2026 and 2027 Mariä Himmelfahrt falls on a weekend, so it is Fronleichnam that changes the 2026 count and Fronleichnam plus a Monday Allerheiligen that change the 2027 count. The working week is Monday to Friday with a Saturday and Sunday weekend.
