Monday. :)

@ VulpesRex:
Yes, there will be more public traffic on a Sunday. Especially @ the concerning EF weekend, because in Sachsen-Anhalt, school starts back on the 25th. So in my experience, parents travelling with children will preferably choose the 20th or 21st to come back home.
In generell - and perhaps still on the 21st - you will be much faster @ Sunday, cause on Sundays and public holidays, trucks are not allowed to drive between 12am and 10pm. And on German motorways, it is mostly trucks that slow you down.
VulpesRex:
Thank you, Drift, for that information on traffic patterns on weekends and holidays.
This information - particularly the item about Trucks (or Lorries, as the English call them) not being allowed on the highways on Sundays and public holidays is exactly the sort of useful tidbit of information which locals possess, but which isn't included in travel books for some reason, and so we travellers are ignorant of them.
There is a wealth of such information, which native populations regard as commonplace and hardly think about, but which baffles us auslanders - and of which it would be mega-useful to compile and post a list.

12am is ambiguous, though. German Law dictates midnight, to be exact, or 00:00:01 am, if you prefer.
Therefore you'll be safe of lorries in the mornings too, except for a handful of exceptions. No need to call the police if you still see some of them on the road. ;)
