Not everywhere in Bavaria:
Augsburger Friedensfest (Augsburg Peace Festival), 08/08: a public holiday only in the city of Augsburg, not across the whole state, so it is not in the list above.
Mariä Himmelfahrt (Assumption Day), 15/08: applies only in municipalities with a predominantly Catholic population, not across the whole state. It is counted in the list above.
How Bavaria differs from other states
In 2027, 253 working days remain from Monday to Friday, 3 fewer than with the nationwide holidays alone (256). No state has fewer.

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.
