How public holidays work
Some Christian holidays are nationwide; others apply only in certain states. School holiday calendars are separate from public holidays and may appear only when a school-holiday source is used.

About holidays in Germany
National holidays
Nationwide examples often include New Year’s Day, German Unity Day, and Christmas Day, depending on the year feed.
Religious & cultural observances
Reformation Day, Epiphany, and Corpus Christi are examples of holidays that may be regional rather than nationwide.
Regional variations
OpenHolidays and similar sources are strong for German subdivisions. When present, we keep ISO 3166-2 style region codes on regional rows.
Data sources & updates
Germany may be populated from Nager.Date and/or OpenHolidays, with OpenHolidays preferred for regional depth when both exist.

Germany holiday FAQ
Why is a German holiday marked regional?
Because it applies only in listed federal states. Nationwide holidays are labeled with national scope.
