For Europeans having 15 August as a public holiday, are you taking Friday as well? Any specific plans? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Not a holiday in Baden-Württemberg (south Germany) 😭

In Bavaria it is.

We do ALL the religious holidays. And there will be mass somewhere all day tomorrow. I have 3 churchbells in hearing distance and they each ring like 20- 30min at the beginning AND end of each service. Probably starting between 6 and 7am tomorrow morning. There will be absolutely no quiet tomorrow and at the end I'll have bells ringing in my head.

I know you have it in Bavaria. The calendar at work shows all the public holidays in Germany without saying in which Bundesland it applies.

Can you imagine my boss' disconcert last week when he was telling everyone the meeting next week is cancelled because of holidays in Germany and I break it to him it is not for us. It is for our colleagues in France and in Poland, but not us :(
