When do German shops close?

It all depends on where you are and what shop you mean:

- Most supermarkets and big stores- even in very rural areas- close at 8p.m. (Mon- Sat)

- Butcher s shops or bakeries (or other small shops) mostly close at 6p.m. (Mon- Fri) or at noon on a Sat... but many supermarkets have their own butcher s shop/ bakery so you can buy it there until 8p.m.

On Sunday, all shops are closed, the only exception are bakeries, they re open from 7a.m to 10a.m. or sometimes till noon.
Furthermore, you can buy most of the necessities (including fresh bread) at gas stations which are often open 24/7

When there are special events (such as the Fifa World Cup or also in the weeks before Christmas) most cities extend the opening- hours until 10p.m.

By the way, most of the German "Bundesländer" are currently about to carry out a reform of the opening-hours, they want to allow the shops to be open until 10p.m.

here is an answer from Germany, so believe me I know HATE IT, it's something so non-service oriented
the rules are very strict:
groceries in cities usually open from 7am-8pm Mon-Sat
(Sun closed)
most shops in cities are open from 9 or 10 am to 8pm
Mon - Sat (Sun closed)
bakeries might open already as early as 6 or 6:30 in the
morning

outside bigger cities it might vary depending on how small the village is stores might close already at 4 or 5 pm

there are some days per year when stores open until midnight in major cities such as Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt or Munich

however, they are trying to loosen the rules on opening hours right now FINALLY

greets Anne

it obviously depends where you are on sundays shop close early and in rural areas all stores close for lunch...so from like 12-2 depending....and inr ural areas many stores close earlier than here (around 5) but it all depends...if you are in a city closing times are very simmilar to normal closing times here (the US)
