The holidays at a glance

Of course, in addition to the holidays, public holidays are also very important. In Schleswig-Holstein there will be a total of 12 public holidays in 2025, two of which fall on the weekend. The statutory holiday overview includes, among others, New Year's Day, Good Friday, German Unity Day and the two days of Christmas. On the other hand, Reformation Day, celebrated on October 31st, remains a huge talking point this year, as legal recognition continues to be discussed, as already mentioned.

There are also efforts in other federal states, such as Lower Saxony and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, to introduce Reformation Day as a public holiday. These discussions show that the topic of holiday regulations in Germany is still lively and complex.

The school holidays and public holidays in Schleswig-Holstein not only play an important role in everyday school life, but also influence the planning of family trips, vacations and other leisure activities. The year 2025 has a lot to offer, and it will be exciting to see how the discussions about additional public holidays will develop.
