Monatskalender

Monatskalender is a calendar view that presents the days of a single month in a grid. It is used for planning and scheduling, allowing users to see dates at a glance and to annotate events, appointments, and deadlines. In printed forms, Monatskalender commonly appears as a wall calendar, desk calendar, or pocket calendar, while digital versions are integrated into calendar applications and widgets.

A typical Monatskalender shows a header with the month name and year, followed by a grid of weeks with seven columns representing days of the week. Depending on locale, the first column may correspond to Sunday or Monday. Some calendars include week numbers, public holidays, and other markers such as lunar phases or holidays. The current day is often highlighted, and space for notes or reminders is common.

Variations exist as part of broader planning systems, including Wochenkalender (weekly view) and Jahreskalender (annual view). The Monatskalender form is used across languages and cultures, especially in German-speaking contexts where it is common in both print calendars and personal organizers.

Historically, the concept follows the Gregorian calendar framework and has been reproduced in printed formats since centuries, evolving with design trends and digital interfaces.
