What is a bridge day?
A bridge day (Brückentag) is a working day between a public holiday and a weekend. By taking this one day off, you connect the holiday to the weekend and get several consecutive days off using minimal annual leave.

Sections 1–2 list the public holidays. Midsummer Eve and Christmas Eve are not among them, which is why our count is lower than some calendars.
