August 15: Not a holiday in Erlangen

Stand: 05.08.2026

In Bavarian municipalities with a predominantly Catholic population, the Assumption of Mary (August 15) is a legal holiday. Erlangen is not one of them. Therefore, Saturday, August 15, is not a holiday in the Huguenot city. Stores will be open that day.

On August 15, enjoy your stay in the baroque, planned city of Erlangen. Read more here from Visit Erlangen—the Erlangen Tourist Information Office.
