Why don't German shops open on weekends?

What many people are not used to when they first arrive in Germany is that most shops in Germany are closed on Sundays! I want to have a good meal at the weekend, but the shops are basically closed and the streets are deserted. If you forget to go to the supermarket on Saturday, it will be inconvenient the next day.

Almost all people in China don't understand why German businessmen are so stupid. Don't most people concentrate on shopping on weekends? What's more, many people go out to travel on Sunday, and the consumer demand increases greatly. Isn't this a huge business opportunity?

In fact, this is because the German court stipulates that shops are not allowed to open on Sundays. A few years ago, it was stipulated that it could only be opened to 18 on Mondays and Fridays and 14 on Saturdays. Later, this rule was relaxed to 20 o'clock, but the German people have become accustomed to it, and the business hours of many shops are still the same. Therefore, shops in Germany are not only closed on holidays, but also have short business hours.

The Basic Law 1949 gives political protection to Sunday as a rest day. It reads: "Sundays and legal holidays are protected by law as days of rest and mental relaxation." But this does not mean the end of the debate.

I want to remind all those who plan to go to Germany that if you need to buy food and other necessities on weekends, there are still a few supermarkets and bakeries in the central railway station of many big cities. And most restaurants are open on weekends, so don't worry too much about getting hungry.
