Where these dates come from
The school holiday dates come from OpenHolidaysAPI and are published under the Open Database License (ODbL 1.0) .
Listed are the holidays of general schools that apply across the whole of each state. Different dates for particular school types or areas, such as vocational schools or individual islands, are not included.
The announcement of the responsible ministry remains authoritative. We reproduce the dates, we do not set them.

School holidays are when cover gets tight
Parents take their leave during the school holidays, and they all want the same weeks. When a request is filed, Tiveo shows who else in the department is already away that week, and lets you set a minimum staffing level, so the problem shows up before July. The calendar knows each person’s state: someone in Neuss has different holidays from a colleague in Munich.
