When children in Saarland take a break from school
Children in Saarland, as in other German states, do not attend school during school holidays and legal holidays. They also have flexible holidays (flexible days off). Their number changes every year. There are six types of school holidays in Saarland:
- Autumn vacation.
- Christmas Holidays.
- Winter holidays.
- Easter holidays.
- Pentecost holidays.
- Summer holidays.
IMPORTANT! There is no Pentecost holiday in the 2024-2025, 2025-2026, and 2026-2027 school years. However, Pentecost Monday (Spiritual Monday) remains a legal holiday and a non-school day. Schools are expected to use flexible holidays to accommodate several days of rest for Pentecost.
School holidays in Saarland are not the only time children have a break from school. Schools are closed on legal holidays. However, unlike other countries in Germany, Saarland does not have mandatory “bridges” (additional days off). Below in the article we provide schedules of school holidays and official (legal) holidays.
