Brückentage 2026How the calculation works
Ranked by longest break, then fewest leave days and earliest start. Up to 8 non-overlapping alternatives; each includes at least one public holiday on a weekday.
Calculations stay within the selected calendar year, from 1 January to 31 December. A local holiday counts only when you confirm that it applies to your workplace.
Dates come from the website’s documented public-holiday data. Your employer may still need to approve leave.
