When schoolchildren take a break from classes in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern

In the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, students receive six breaks from school during the school year. This rule applies to everyone except those attending vocational schools. Here are the standard break periods for most schools:

  1. Autumn holidays.
  2. Christmas holidays.
  3. Winter holidays.
  4. Easter holidays.
  5. Pentecost holidays.
  6. Summer holidays.

IMPORTANT! Vocational schools have their own school vacation schedule. They have only four vacation periods (no vacation for Pentecost). In this publication, we provide separate school vacation schedules for vocational schools for each academic year.

Vocational schools also often introduce additional days off. This is done to compensate for the lack of school holidays, the absence of a Pentecostal holiday, or to align the school year schedule with the production schedules of enterprises.

Schools in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern are closed on public holidays. On these days, teachers, students, and school staff have an official day off. There are also additional days off—bridge days or “bridge days.” These are designated to create a longer weekend, adding one or two days off.

The school holiday dates in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern for 2026, 2027, 2028, and 2029 are governed by the General Holiday Regulations for the 2024/2025–2029/2030 School Years (AFerVO 2024/2030 MV) of 20 July 2022. These regulations may only be revised in exceptional cases. The “Second Ordinance Amending the General Holiday Regulations” of 6 August 2025 made minor but important adjustments.
