Answer 3

It varies - generally speaking the students in northern Germany start things off and return to school earliest.  As you go south, the summer holidays begin later.  I've been told children in Munich begin their holidays last.

Answer 4

mid-June, July, August. These are the main summer holidays. It varies between states.

Here is ONE site (among others) with the school holidays in 2008:

Mind that university holidays may vary wildly. (Yes, I meant "wildly", not "widely".)
