(Yet another) public holiday

The following is the list of public holidays in our state Baden-Württenburg in the last two months:

April 10: Good Friday.
April 13: Easter Monday
May 1 : Labor Day
May 21 : Ascension day
June 1 : Whit Monday
June 11 : Corpus Christi

Well, it is a public holiday tomorrow, and employees at the research center here are "forced" to take Friday (which is not a holiday) off as the cafeteria and the library (yes, the library) will be closed.

BTW, there are 14 public holidays and 20+ days of paid vacation time in a year for most workers in Germany.
