My company allows you to save your working hours and spend them in your sabbatical.

It's primarily a good thing in regards of taxes as you pay less in that time.

Do you mean something different? Haven't heard a free sabbatical from spd

Had to google it again myself, they called it Grundeinkommensjahr (https://www.deutschlandfunknova.de/beitrag/lars-klingbeil-gr...) and the pay was much less than I remembered; it's 1000 bucks per month plus social security. You get one month per year of work.
