Schleswig-Holstein Business Day Calculator
Last reviewed: October 14, 2026 · Holiday data: August 24, 2026
Calculate business days in Schleswig-Holstein 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 Schleswig-Holstein differs from the nationwide German holidays
This calendar adds one Feiertag to the nationwide German Feiertage for Schleswig-Holstein: Reformationstag on 31 October. It falls on a Saturday in 2026 and a Sunday in 2027, so the state working-day count equals the nationwide German count in those years; in 2028 it falls on a Tuesday and closes one more weekday. Fronleichnam and Allerheiligen are not in the Schleswig-Holstein calendar.
Worked example
Adding 2 business days to Thursday, October 29, 2026 using Schleswig-Holstein's Feiertage lands on Monday, November 2, 2026.
