Wow. Four weeks off is the legal base minimum in Germany. Most companies provide at least 5 weeks of PTO. If competition for talent or unions are strong it is normal to have 6 weeks of PTO. On top come public holidays so that you regularly are able to stretch 6 weeks PTO to about 7 to 8 weeks of holiday per year (if for example xmas falls not so shitty as last year's). I am always amazed how different it is in other countries.
