Not everywhere in Thuringia:
Fronleichnam (Corpus Christi), 04/06: a public holiday only in some municipalities with a predominantly Catholic population, not across the whole state, so it is not in the list above.
How Thuringia differs from other states
In 2026, 254 working days remain from Monday to Friday, as many as with the nationwide holidays alone, because all state holidays fall on a weekend. No state has more.

These holidays in your leave plan
Tiveo applies them per person, based on the state where they work. Someone in Munich gets Assumption Day off, while a colleague in Neuss does not. A single company-wide holiday calendar can’t show that.
