But what actually regulates Sunday opening? In Rhineland-Palatinate there are no special exceptions for shopping on Sundays. Rather, a nationwide law regulates that a maximum of four shopping Sundays are permitted per year, although these may not fall on public holidays. These regulations state that most shops are usually required to close on Sundays, with some exceptions such as restaurants, pharmacies or gas stations. The working hours for employees on such days are also subject to strict regulations, which are limited to a maximum of eight hours per week. Fachanwalt.de explains the historical development of these laws since the introduction of general Sunday rest in 1919.

An exciting supporting program

The business park festival promises to be a celebration for the entire family. The big children's festival is just one highlight that will delight not only the little ones, but also the adults. There is a variety of entertainment and exciting activities aimed at making Sunday a special day of reflection and celebration. In predominantly cloudy weather with temperatures a maximum of 24°C, visitors can enjoy the fresh air and shop to their heart's content.

In Mülheim-Kärlich, Sunday shopping has a long tradition. As early as 1891, for example, it was stipulated that shops were only allowed to open for a limited time on Sundays.
