German holidays in Matlab

Question

Is there any function that considers German bank holidays in Matlab? I need to mark German holidays as part of a "weekend and holiday matrix" over several years in Matlab to estimate mean values for i) weekends and holidays and for ii) workdays.

Certainly not. You need to download the german band holidays data somewhere, save it as a file and then import it in matlab. — Jannick, Feb 14 '17 at 11:45

MATLAB has a lot of inbuilts but this seems like too far! However you can probably find that information somewhere and make a function yourself. — Ander Biguri, Feb 14 '17 at 11:50
There an inbuilt `holidays` function , but you have to manually add the dates plus you must have a financial toolbox which isnt a very good solution , so your best bet is to find and add these dates manually to a datetime vector — Novice_Developer, Feb 14 '17 at 12:08

Matlab doesn't has a function like holidays to other countries. You can implement a function and load the datetimes. Here you can see an implementation like holidays to african public holidays:
