The Saarland is Germany's smallest non-city-state, home to approximately 1 million people. Located on the French border, it was administratively part of France and later under French-administered Saar protectorate status until 1957, when it rejoined the Federal Republic of Germany. This French influence remains visible in local culture, cuisine, and architecture. The Saarland observes additional regional holidays including Corpus Christi and Assumption of Mary.
In 2029, Saarland observes 12 public holidays in total — 9 nationwide holidays that apply across all of Germany, plus 3 public holidays specific to Saarland.
