Sachsen-Anhalt Public Holidays 2027

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

Sachsen-Anhalt observes 11 Feiertage in 2027: 6 fall on a weekday and 5 land on a weekend, leaving 255 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 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.
