Germany has a wide range of public holidays, which vary from one Länder (federal state) to another.

In Germany, there are statutory public holidays (known as gesetzliche Feiertage), which are compulsory days off for employees, and other, non-compulsory days, which are more cultural or local celebrations.

In fact, some days are public holidays throughout Germany and others only in part of it, depending on local traditions.
