All Saints Day is a public holiday in Germany only in some states, namely in Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland. In these German states, November 1 is equal to Sundays and is therefore a non-working holiday (see also All Saints' Day in North Rhine-Westphalia). It is also a silent holiday on which the so-called "ban on dancing" applies.

Schleswig-Holstein and Thuringia. In the other federal states, i.e. Berlin and Hesse, there is no public holiday during this period.
