Not a public holiday in every state, but in Lower Saxony: Reformationstag.
For comparison: in 2030 the number of public holidays ranges from 10 (Berlin, Bremen, Hamburg, Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein) to 12 (Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Brandenburg, Hesse and Saarland). Lower Saxony is among the states with the fewest public holidays.
Christmas Eve (24 Dec) and New Year's Eve (31 Dec) are not public holidays in Germany, although many employers give the whole or half day off.
