Catholic holidays, Rhineland carnival, and school calendar in North Rhine-Westphalia

In North Rhine-Westphalia, Corpus Christi and All Saints' Day (1 November) are statutory public holidays under state holiday law, which also provides special protection for Sunday and holiday church services.

Carnival days such as Rose Monday and Shrove Tuesday are not statutory holidays under state law, but widespread civic observance and school closures take place across the Rhineland. School holiday schedules are coordinated by the Ministry of Schools and Education.
