Debate about the 2025 summer holiday dates in Germany: dispute between federal states, effects on planning and tourism.
SHOCKING DISPUTE: Summer holiday drama divides Germany!
A drama of enormous proportions is unfolding in Germany as parents, students and vacation-seekers are in turmoil over the latest developments regarding the 2025 summer vacation dates! In a shocking turn of events, Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg are abandoning the traditional “rolling system” for regulating holiday dates, thereby triggering the discussion about holiday planning from 2030 with full force! Bietigheimer Zeitung reports that this decision has far-reaching consequences and that other federal states in the want to plunge into the overcrowded holiday madness by wanting to be the last to start their summer holidays!
Markus Söder, the Bavarian Prime Minister, has made it clear that the holiday rhythm in Bavaria is sacrosanct! The old tradition reigns supreme! While students in other federal states are hectically returning to everyday school life, the people of Hesse, Saxony and Thuringia are enjoying their isolation because their autumn holidays do not begin until October 6th. It's like a race against time and the heat of the summer holidays! Some profits depend on this injustice! From mid-September, people without school-age children can enjoy the calm before the storm of the school year with great discounts on beaches.
The fight for the holidays
The mud fight between the federal states over the summer vacation dates until 2030 is coming to a head! Tagesschau reveals the bitter conflicts that result from the fact that education in Germany is a state matter! The holiday dates are determined by each country itself - a vulnerable point in the structure of education policy!
A rolling system would be the key to avoiding traffic jams and optimizing leisure activities, but the two determined federal states, Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg, are not satisfied with that and are fighting tooth and nail for their rigid rules. It is a shocking scandal of historic proportions! The other states, such as North Rhine-Westphalia, Lower Saxony and Thuringia, are in favor of fairer regulations, while the tourism industry is wildly campaigning for approval!
Background and challenges
The background to this heated debate is not only school year plans, but also the enormous impact on families who are desperately trying to coordinate their vacation planning! The current regulations lead to chaos in childcare offers and get students into great difficulties before the exams! [RND].
It also shows that the tradition and school organization in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg often goes against the flexibility of other federal states! “We are a nation of holidaymakers, and our holiday calendar determines traffic and holiday offers!” screams the tourism industry! It's high time for a modern and fair system before chaos breaks out and families have to fight for their holiday plans!
The RUBIKON of holiday planning has been reached, and the coming years could forever shape the image of the ethnically heterogeneous Federal Republic of Germany. Looking to the future, one can only hope that an agreement is imminent to end the passionate battles over holiday dates!
