North Rhine-Westphalia 2028: calendar analysis

This analysis is calculated from the holiday entries displayed on this page. It distinguishes unique dates, nationwide dates and regional scope instead of treating every stored row as a day off everywhere.

11
distinct holiday dates

11 stored entries

9
nationwide dates

8 Monday to Friday

1
nationwide weekend date

Saturday or Sunday

8
regional scopes

2 regional entries

Each of the 11 stored holiday entries falls on a different date.

Nationwide dates: 9. Of these, 8 fall from Monday through Friday and 1 falls on a weekend. A weekday date still needs to be checked against the employment rules that apply to the individual case.

Regional entries: 2 across 8 stored scope codes. Select the actual state, canton, region or municipality before using them for leave or working-day planning.

April, May and June have the highest count with 2 displayed entries. This describes the stored calendar distribution, not an automatic entitlement to time off.

Understanding annual planning

North Rhine-Westphalia calendar 2028: plan public holidays precisely

This annual calendar contains 11 stored holiday entries across 11 distinct dates. 9 dates are marked nationwide; 8 fall from Monday through Friday and 1 fall on a weekend.

The first stored date is New Year's Day on January 1, 2028, and the last is Boxing Day on December 26, 2028. April, May and June has the highest monthly concentration with 2 entries.

The dataset also contains 2 regional entries across 8 stored scopes, including Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Hesse and North Rhine-Westphalia and 4 further areas.

Working days and possible bridge days in North Rhine-Westphalia

3 nationwide dates fall on a Tuesday or Thursday, including Ascension Day, German Unity Day and Boxing Day. They are useful starting points for bridge-day planning.

A precise working-day calculation needs the actual workplace region. A regional public holiday is not deducted throughout the country, and collective agreements, industry rules or substitute days can change the result.

Check school breaks, ISO weeks and daylight separately

A separate school-holiday page for North Rhine-Westphalia lists stored periods and their scopes. School breaks and statutory public holidays are different datasets and are therefore evaluated separately.

The linked solar calendar uses the named reference location and its time zone. Sunrise and sunset can differ elsewhere in North Rhine-Westphalia.

What to consider when planning through 2050

Recurring and mathematically movable holidays can be projected across many years. Election dates, one-off state events, later substitute days and new legislation become reliable only after they are adopted and published.

For important plans, keep the country, region and year together and recheck distant dates later. This calendar supports planning and does not replace binding information from an authority, school or employer.
