Everything that changes in Germany in June 2025
Briefly

In June, Germany implements significant changes, including enhanced maternity protection for women suffering miscarriages, allowing up to eight weeks of paid leave based on the timing of loss. Additionally, starting June 6, consumers can switch electricity providers within 24 hours, in line with EU regulations aimed at fostering competition. The month also features the observance of Whit Monday on June 9, a public holiday celebrated with religious services and festive local activities, marking the end of the Pentecost season.
Starting from June, women who suffer a miscarriage from the 13th week of pregnancy are entitled to maternity protection, providing paid leave to recover from their loss.
The change comes from an EU directive aimed at increasing competition, allowing consumers to switch electricity providers within 24 hours from June 6th.
Germany observes Whit Monday on June 9th this year, a national public holiday celebrated with church services and spring fairs.
