In the following example LaTeX (pdflatex and lualatex) does start on the first page with the typesetting but on the second, also the page is not broken correctly after August.

I would have expected this to happen with float objects but not with ordinary tables.

\documentclass[ngerman,12pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[left=1cm,right=1cm, top=1cm,bottom=1cm]{geometry}
\pagestyle{empty}

\begin{document}

  • I gave your code a try and after reformating it (to help with eventual longer debugging visually) i had the suspicion that its the * after vspace so i removed them and it works typesetting starts at page 1 (which is no longer empty) and after august there is a page break and september is at page 2

As pointed out in the comment above removing the * after the vspace did the trick on my machine you find the code below for reference:

    it's also good practice to put the blank line before the vspace, not after.
