In Germany, the Ladenschlussgesetz (abbreviated: LadSchlG) is the federal law regulating at which times stores are required to be closed. The Ladenschlussgesetz was first enacted on July 10 1958 following pressure from Germany's trade unions; currently (beginning June 1 2003), points of sale ("Verkaufsstellen") must be closed at any of the following times:
- On Sundays and public holidays;
- On working days (Monday through Saturday) before 6:00 a.m. and after 8:00 p.m.;
- On December 24 before 6:00 a.m. and after 2:00 p.m. if this date falls on a working day.
The law provides differing regulations for pharmacies, gas stations, shops at train stations etc.
After the German reunification in 1990, the former east-german population opposed application of the LSG law on their land, since people were used to shops being open on sundays during the communist regime.
