The history of the open Sundays

To understand how it came about that Sunday openings in Germany are possible, it is interesting to take a look into the past. By the end of the 19th century, shops were still open every day from Monday to Sunday, often up to 18 hours a day. However, this changed with the first large department stores around 1900. Sunday was officially introduced in 1919 as a day off, which means that the opening times were regulated for many business.

Permission to open four Sundays a year is anchored in the Law Entry Conservation Act. This regulation gives the federal states a certain scope, so that some of them can increase the number of open Sundays. In this way, the feeling of community and tradition is strengthened during the festive season.

International there are different practices regarding Sundays. In Spain, shops are allowed to open on the first Sunday of the month, and in December even on all Sundays to meet the shopping during the Christmas season. In Greece, on the other hand, the shop door often remains closed, unless it is tourist regions. Italy also has many closing days, but there are exceptions, especially in big cities like Rome during the pre -Christmas period.

The open Sundays offer a special opportunity to enjoy the festive atmosphere and anticipation for the Christmas season. Especially at a time when gifts for friends and family come first, it is a great occasion to explore the streets of Ottweiler. If you want, you can also visit the local Christmas market with your festive stands and offers.
