With the introduction of the rest day on Sunday in 1919, shopping was severely restricted on this day and has been regulated by special laws since then. In Germany, the regulations for open Sundays vary depending on the federal state, but the majority allowed the opening to a few dates per year. A look at other European countries shows that in neighboring Austria petrol stations are the only business on Sundays that are open, while in France there are five stated Sundays that can be expanded by larger cities.
