Holidays


At the turn of the century few workers in Germany were given holidays. In 1902 the metal and brewing industries gave three days annual leave to their workers.

It was not until 1974 that the old Federal Republic introduced the statutory minimum holiday of 18 working days.

Today most collective wage agreements provide for holidays of six weeks or more and most employers pay holiday money as well.
