Seems I do not understand politics. The richest part of germany, bavaria, which also has the lowest unemployment rate and the highest productivity has 12 bank holidays per year. The poorest part, with the highest unemployment and the lowest productivity, has 9 bank holidays. Conclusion from that is we need less holidays to improve productivity and lower the unemployment rates. I fail to see the logic, but I am stupid anyway...
(Yes, of course this is simplistic. But so is anything I heard from our politicians so far...)

No, there is an obvious reason:
Don't think bank holidays, but religous (=catholic) holidays. It seems that obeying the rules and praying does help.
We are god's favored country, not the socialist countries in the north. Seems to be as simple as that.
