Where do the school holiday dates come from?

From the official tables: the Kultusministerkonferenz’s table of every German state’s Ferien, the French ministry’s calendar for zones A, B and C, and the Turkish Ministry of Education’s çalışma takvimi. They cover the school years 2025/26 to 2027/28 (Türkiye: to 2026-2027, the last it has published).

When are the NRW school holidays in 2027?

Christmas 23 December 2026 – 6 January 2027, Easter 22 March – 3 April, a school-free day on 18 May, summer 19 July – 31 August, autumn 23 October – 6 November, and Christmas from 24 December 2027 to 8 January 2028.

What if a year is not published yet?

The calendar says up to which day the dates are known; the months after it are printed without school holidays rather than with a guess.

Are single school-free days included?

Yes, where the official table lists them — Bavaria’s Buß- und Bettag, a Friday after Ascension. The days each school fixes for itself (bewegliche Ferientage) are not.

Can I print a French zone or Türkiye instead?

Yes: choose France or Turkey under Public holidays, then zone A, B or C or Türkiye under School holidays. The breaks keep their own names: zone C has its “Vacances d’hiver” from 6 to 21 February 2027.

Is there a footer on it?

Only on the free plan: a small line “Made with nouplo.com” at the foot of the last page. With Pro there is none. Either way the sheet is made in your browser.

Example

Example: 2027 with the NRW school holidays, one month to a page

A family in North Rhine-Westphalia plans 2027. Settings: Year: Automatic (2027 from September 2026), Public holidays: Germany, School holidays: Germany — North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), A month per page, Letter, Weeks start on Monday.

Each month page shades its school-free days green and lists the breaks that touch it under the grid, by their German names, such as “Sommerferien Jul 19 – Aug 31”.
Public holidays are red, with the NRW ones added to the national list: Fronleichnam (Corpus Christi) on 27 May and Allerheiligen (All Saints’ Day) on 1 November.
With Germany’s holidays chosen, Automatic starts the weeks on Monday, the German way, even on this English page; Monday is set here anyway.

12 pages, January to December 2027, with every NRW school holiday and public holiday marked. The NRW dates run to 22 August 2028, so a 2028 calendar has them up to the summer.

How it works

Choose the country’s public holidays — Germany, France or Türkiye — and then the state, zone or country whose school holidays to shade.
Pick the layout: a month to a page, the whole year on one, or the year planner with a column for every month.
Download the PDF: the school holidays are shaded green and listed at the foot, the public holidays in red — both by the country’s own names (Osterferien, Karfreitag; Vacances d’hiver, Lundi de Pâques).
