2031 marks the final year in CalendarGlobe's verified Germany public holiday dataset. Easter Sunday falls on 13 April, placing Good Friday on 11 April and Easter Monday on 14 April — a mid-April date that aligns comfortably with typical school Easter holiday windows across most Bundesländer. Ascension Day follows on 22 May and Whit Monday on 1 June, rounding out a well-spaced spring season.
Labour Day on 1 May 2031 falls on a Thursday — an ideal setup for a four-day weekend with just one bridge day on Friday 2 May. German Unity Day on 3 October lands on a Friday, automatically creating a long weekend nationwide. These two favourable placements make 2031 a particularly efficient year for workers looking to maximise time off with minimal annual leave expenditure.
Over the full 2024–2031 span covered by CalendarGlobe, Germany's public holiday structure has remained consistent: 9 nationwide holidays guaranteed to all, supplemented by up to 4 regional additions depending on Bundesland. What changes year to year is the day-of-week alignment — and for anyone planning travel, events, or business operations across Germany's 16 states, that detail makes all the difference.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is Easter in Germany in 2031?
Easter Sunday falls on 13 April 2031. Good Friday is 11 April and Easter Monday is 14 April — a comfortable mid-April placement. School Easter holidays in most Bundesländer will align closely with this window, making it a predictable and well-spaced spring break.
Does Labour Day offer a long weekend in 2031?
Yes — Labour Day (1 May) falls on a Thursday in 2031. Taking Friday 2 May as annual leave gives a four-day weekend at the cost of just one day's leave. One of the stronger Brückentag opportunities of the year.
What day is German Unity Day in 2031?
German Unity Day (3 October) falls on a Friday in 2031 — automatically creating a three-day weekend for all workers across Germany. This marks 41 years since reunification and is one of the most convenient placements for the holiday in the 2024–2031 range.
Is Christmas favourable in 2031?
Moderately. Christmas Day (25 December) falls on a Thursday and Boxing Day (26 December) on a Friday in 2031 — giving a natural four-day break from Wednesday 24 December through Sunday 28 December without any annual leave needed. A solid festive period for most workers.
Is 2031 the last year covered by CalendarGlobe for Germany?
Yes — 2031 is the final year in CalendarGlobe's verified Germany dataset. All public holiday dates for 2031 across all 16 Bundesländer have been confirmed from official government and KMK sources. For planning beyond 2031, moveable holidays like Easter can be calculated in advance, but fixed regional holidays may be subject to legislative changes not yet announced.
