The start date for school in 2025 depends on the location:
- In North Germany, cities like Berlin and Brandenburg have the first day of school on September 8, 2025.
- In Bremen, school starts earlier on August 14, 2025.
- Hamburg's school year begins on September 4, 2025.
- Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt start on August 14 and August 11, 2025, respectively.
- In Central Germany, Hesse begins school on August 18, North Rhine-Westphalia on August 27, Saxony on August 11, and Thuringia on August 11, 2025.
- In South Germany, Baden-Württemberg starts school on September 15, Bavaria on September 16, Rhineland-Palatinate on August 18, and Saarland on August 26, 2024 (note this seems like an exception).
In the U.S. (for example in Philadelphia School District), the school year starts on August 25, 2025.
Therefore, the exact "school start" date for "20" (assuming the 2025 calendar year) varies by region and system. For many German states, it generally falls between mid-August and mid-September 2025. The U.S. start date referenced is late August 2025. If more specific location details are provided, the exact date could be refined further.
