19 business days
May 2027 has 31 calendar days in Germany. Of these, 19 are business days — Monday to Friday that are not national public holidays — while 10 are weekend days and 3 national public holiday dates fall on a weekday and are deducted.
The deducted days are: Tag der Arbeit (01 May); Christi Himmelfahrt (06 May); Pfingstmontag (17 May). If days observed only in part of the country, or only in particular sectors, are also excluded, the count falls to 18.

19 business days × 8 hours = 152 working hours in May 2027, before any leave, and assuming a standard 8-hour day (40-hour week). On a 7.5-hour day the total is 142 hours; on a 7-hour day, 133 hours. Weekends and the national public holidays listed above are not worked, so they add no hours.

Start with every date in May 2027, keep the Mondays to Fridays, then remove the dates marked “Yes” in the holiday table above. The number you get is the one shown at the top of this page: 19. Dates marked “Regional or sector-specific only” are observed in part of Germany or in certain industries, so they are listed for reference but not deducted.
