Summary
Germany is divided over whether shops should be allowed to open more often on Sundays. This is shown by a representative YouGov survey with 4,022 participants aged 18 and over. In Thuringia, there have been explicit regulations for small 24-hour shops for several months.
Furthermore, 34 percent were in favor of more frequent Sunday openings, 59 percent against. 43 percent of people would support this “in any case” or “rather”, 50 percent reject it. The conditions and hurdles of the individual federal states as well as the cities and municipalities often led to the fact that Sundays open for sale are not even applied for – for fear that the requested occasional reference is not enough and will possibly be tipped in court at short notice, says CEO Rolf Pangels.
In addition, There is a maximum number of Sundays open for sale, which must be linked to an event. “For employees, Sunday is the only reliably plannable day off where there is time for physical and mental relief in this exhausting job,” says Board member Silke Zimmer, responsible for trade. A survey shows what people in Germany want.
