Open Sundays in Germany on September 7, 2025, offer shopping opportunities across 13 federal states

Many German cities are holding "open Sundays" on September 7, 2025, allowing shops to open. This offers a chance for seasonal shopping and exploring local events. Across 13 federal states, 112 cities will participate, with specific regulations varying by region. These openings are typically tied to local festivals, markets, or events, and often have limited hours. The concept of restricted Sunday shopping in Germany evolved from much longer opening hours in the late 19th century, with current laws allowing up to four Sundays per year for retail.
