Sunday in Kaltenkirchen: Spring Festival invites you!

On January 5, 2025, a Sunday open for sales takes place in Kaltenkirchen, which is organized as part of the spring festival. The shops are open from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and offer numerous offers in the city center as well as with the individual dealers XXXLutz Dodenhof and in the Ohlandpark.

In Schleswig-Holstein, four open Sundays are allowed every year, whereby there are also special regulations for spa, recreation and tourism locations. The weather forecast for Kaltenkirchen predicts heavily cloudy weather in dry conditions and temperatures around 1 ° C.

historical context of the Sunday openings

Sunday open has a long history in Germany. As early as 1891, shops were only allowed to open five hours on Sundays before the general Sunday rest was introduced in 1919. However, there are exceptions for train stations, airports and shops in North and Baltic Sea resorts. According to the current regulations, a maximum of six hours of opening time on these four Sundays a year are permitted outside of the main services.

In international comparison, there are significant differences. In Spain, shops are allowed to open every Sunday every Sunday in December and the first Sunday of each month. There are hardly any restrictions on Sunday openings in many Eastern European countries such as the Czech Republic, Hungary and the Baltic States. Poland generally allows the opening of business on Sundays, except on statutory holidays.
