The St. Ursula Fountain at the market place in Oberursel has been decorated for Easter by the “Kerbeborschen” – a group of people who organise the annual festival each year to celebrate the anniversary of the local church’s dedication.
Can you go shopping on Good Friday?
April 21, 2011 By Leave a Comment
I was asked this week if the shops are open in Germany on Good Friday.
It’s a simple answer: no.
Even on Gründonnerstag (Maundy Thursday) many shops are required to shut earlier than usual, with supermarkets that usually stay open until 9pm, 10pm or even midnight on other days closing their doors at 8pm and not opening again until Saturday morning.
And when they do open there will be a last-minute rush for Osterhasen and generally a lot of people stocking up before everything shuts again for another two days.
With even the bakeries closed on Good Friday, the petrol stations will be doing a good trade and are probably the best place to go if you run out of anything over the weekend.
