Thüringen Public Holidays 2028

Last reviewed: August 26, 2026 · Holiday data: August 24, 2026

Thüringen observes 11 Feiertage in 2028: 10 fall on a weekday and 1 land on a weekend, leaving 250 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 Thüringen differs from the nationwide German holidays

Thuringia adds two statewide Feiertage: Weltkindertag (World Children's Day) on 20 September, a gesetzlicher Feiertag in the state since 2019, and Reformationstag on 31 October. Weltkindertag falls on a Sunday in 2026 (no effect) and a Monday in 2027, when it shortens the count; Reformationstag falls on a weekend in both years. Fronleichnam is a holiday only in a handful of predominantly Catholic municipalities, not statewide, so it is left out of this count. The working week is Monday to Friday with a Saturday and Sunday weekend.
