Bridge day check
Falls on the weekend, so it costs most people no leave — and in many countries no day is given back.
What the day is for
Marks Luther's theses of 1517 and is a holiday across the eastern states plus the northern ones that adopted it in 2018 — Hamburg, Bremen, Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein.
Do shops and banks close?
Closed where observed; normal trading in Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg and the west.
Getting around
Normal or Sunday services depending on the state.
When it falls each year
Floating holidays shift; fixed ones move only in which weekday they land on.
