Germany has no statutory substitute days: a public holiday that falls on a Saturday or Sunday is not moved to a weekday, so the following Monday stays a working day in these counts. Each German state sets its own public holidays on top of the nine that apply everywhere. Corpus Christi is a public holiday only in some municipalities with a Catholic tradition; it is listed but not counted.
