Kalender Sync

The holiday is in your calendar. But can others see it?

A subscription only shows holidays to you. Colleagues, clients and booking tools like Teams or Calendly still see you as free, just like on vacation days that only live in your personal calendar. Kalender Sync keeps your Outlook, Google and iCloud calendars in sync automatically.

Try free for 7 days How Kalender Sync works

No credit card needed. GDPR-compliant, hosted in Germany.

  • Personal events block your work calendar Vacation, appointments or school pick-up from Google or iCloud show as busy in Outlook, without details if you like.
  • Subscriptions as real events Kalender Sync mirrors ICS subscriptions like this holiday calendar into Google, Outlook or iCloud (Basic plan and up).
  • You decide what's visible Busy only, title and time, or full details, per connection.

Calendar week numbers

The ISO 8601 week number on each Monday as an all-day event. Handy in Outlook and on iPhone, which don't show week numbers by default.

Google Outlook Apple

Add German holidays to your calendar

A subscription is a link your calendar reloads regularly. The holidays show up as a separate calendar you can show or hide. Your own events are not touched.

Google Calendar

The "Google Calendar" button opens Google with the subscription ready; you only confirm. By hand, in a browser: click + next to "Other calendars", choose "From URL" and paste the copied link. On Android, the calendar appears after the next sync; if not, switch it on in the app's settings.

Outlook

"Outlook.com" and "Microsoft 365" open Outlook on the web with "Subscribe from web" filled in. In new Outlook for Windows it works the same via "Add calendar". In classic Outlook: Home → Add Calendar → From Internet, then paste the link.

Apple Calendar (iPhone, iPad, Mac)

The "Apple Calendar" button opens the subscription directly; confirm with "Subscribe". By hand on iPhone: Settings → Apps → Calendar → Calendar Accounts → Add Account → Other → Add Subscribed Calendar, then paste the link.

Hide the built-in holidays

Google and Apple ship their own holiday calendars, which don't reliably tell the states apart. To avoid duplicates, untick "Holidays in Germany" under "Other calendars" in Google, or deselect the holiday calendar under "Calendars" in Apple Calendar.

Holidays in your team or work calendar

A subscription only shows the holidays to you. If they should appear as real events in another calendar, for example the Outlook calendar colleagues use for scheduling, Kalender Sync can mirror a subscription into Google, Outlook or iCloud, starting with the Basic plan.

FAQ

Which holidays apply in all of Germany?
Nine holidays apply nationwide: New Year's Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Labour Day, Ascension Day, Whit Monday, German Unity Day, Christmas Day, Boxing Day (2nd Day of Christmas). All others are set by the individual states.
Why do holidays differ between German states?
Public holidays are state law in Germany. Catholic regions in the south and west keep Epiphany, Corpus Christi and All Saints' Day; the Protestant east and north keep Reformation Day. Berlin and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania added International Women's Day, Thuringia World Children's Day. That's why you should subscribe to the state you work in.
What is a bridge day (Brückentag)?
A working day squeezed between a holiday and a weekend, for example the Friday after Ascension Day. Taking that one day off gives you four days off in a row. The calendar marks them if you choose the version with bridge days.
Does the calendar update itself?
Yes, if you subscribe instead of downloading the file. It rolls forward every year and always covers the previous year and the next three. New holidays, such as Berlin's one-off holiday on 17 June 2028, appear automatically. Google and Outlook refresh subscriptions every few hours up to once a day.
Are Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve public holidays in Germany?
No. 24 and 31 December are regular working days in every state, although many employers give the day or half the day off. That's why they are not in the calendar.
How were the holidays calculated?
From the holiday laws of the 16 states: fixed dates plus the movable feasts based on the Easter date. We checked the results for all states and the years 2019 to 2030 against an independent holiday list.
Do you know who subscribes?
No. The calendar is a static file with no tracking and no personal identifier in the link. Your calendar app simply reloads it from time to time. Each event links back to this page; only if you click that link do we see that the visit came from the calendar, without knowing who you are.
