=== Notes ===
✔ – Public holiday is celebrated in that state.

{{efn|name=schoolsClosed|Schools are closed all over the state on that day.}}
{{efn|name=from2019onwards|From 2019 onwards.}}
{{efn|name=reformationDay|Four states adopted the Reformation Day as permanent holiday starting in 2018 ([[Bremen]], [[Hamburg]], [[Lower Saxony]] and [[Schleswig-Holstein]] (see table for references)).}}
{{efn|name=predominant|For states where some holidays are not observed uniformly all over the state, such holidays are included in the state's total number of holidays if their celebration is predominant and widespread in that state:
* [[Bavaria]]: with Assumption Day, without Peace Festival.
* [[Saxony]] and [[Thuringia]]: without Corpus Christi.}}
}}

In addition, the state of [[Brandenburg]] formally declared [[Easter Sunday]] and [[Pentecost Sunday]] as public holidays. As these are Sundays anyway, they have been left out by the other states, nor counted in the table above (the state of [[Hesse]] even declared all Sundays public holidays).
