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.
