Sachsen-Anhalt Business Day Calculator

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

Calculate business days in Sachsen-Anhalt with its own statewide Feiertage. Sachsen-Anhalt shares the Monday to Friday working week and the Saturday and Sunday weekend with the rest of Germany, but its Feiertage calendar is different, so due dates and deadlines can land differently from the count built on the nine nationwide Feiertage.

How Sachsen-Anhalt differs from the nationwide German holidays

Saxony-Anhalt adds two statewide Feiertage: Heilige Drei Könige on 6 January and Reformationstag on 31 October. It is one of only three German states, alongside Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria, that observe Heilige Drei Könige. That day falls on a weekday in both shipped years (a Tuesday in 2026, a Wednesday in 2027) and shortens the count, while Reformationstag falls on a weekend both years. The working week is Monday to Friday with a Saturday and Sunday weekend, so the Epiphany holiday is what sets the state apart in 2026 and 2027.

Worked example

Adding 1 business days to Monday, January 5, 2026 using Sachsen-Anhalt's Feiertage lands on Wednesday, January 7, 2026. With the nine nationwide German Feiertage, the same calculation lands on Tuesday, January 6, 2026: the gap comes from Sachsen-Anhalt's own calendar.
