This module provides additional German public holidays that are not covered by the bank holidays.

Public holidays – except for GermanUnityDay – are under federal obligations in Germany („Ländersache“).

Most bank holidays are also federal public holidays (see isPublicHoliday). But there are some additional extra holidays which may differ between federal states.

For example Heilige Drei Könige is not a bank holiday but it is a public holiday in Bavaria.

Note: The extra holidays are currently only implemented for Bavaria.

Example for computing all public holidays in Bavaria (Landkreis Miesbach, Oberbayern) in the next couple years:

  import Data.List
  import Data.Time
  import qualified Data.Time.Calendar.BankHoliday.Germany as BH
  import qualified Data.Time.Calendar.BankHoliday.Germany.ExtraHolidays as EH

  start = fromGregorian 2024 1 1

  end = fromGregorian 2026 12 31

  holidays :: [[String]]
  holidays = map ((x,y) -> [show x, BH.germanHolidayName y]) (filter (BH.isPublicHoliday . snd) $ BH.holidaysBetween start end)
          ++ map ((x,y) -> [show x, EH.germanHolidayName y]) (filter ((/=EH.Friedensfest) . snd) $ EH.holidaysBetween EH.Bayern start end)

  putStrLn $ unlines $ sort $ map unwords holidays
