Legal basis for shop opening times

The Late Opening Act (Lög NRW) was issued on November 16, 2006 to regulate general shop opening times and protect the Sunday and holiday rest. The scope of this law includes the opening of sales outlets and the commercial offering of goods outside of sales outlets. Sales offices include shops, pharmacies and petrol stations.

The statutory holidays are also defined. On working days, sales outlets may be open without a time limit. However, there are special regulations for Sundays and public holidays: On these days, sales outlets may be open under certain conditions, usually from 1 p.m., a maximum of eight Sundays or public holidays a year.

In addition, sales outlets in tourist areas may be open for up to eight hours on up to 40 Sundays or public holidays. Pharmacies can hand in medicines on Sundays and public holidays, while petrol stations may remain open all day. Sales offices at airports and passenger stations are also permitted for travel needs.

The supervision of compliance with these legal provisions is the responsibility of the local regulatory authorities, which can impose up to 15,000 euros in violations, as reported RGA.de queried.
