Premiere Weekends Set in Bremen Starting from 2025
Hey there! 🤗
In 2025, there are some Sundays set aside for shopping in Bremen. 🛍️
According to the Senator for Health, Women, and Consumer Protection, Kristin Viezens, the Deputation for Health, Care, and Consumer Protection recently made the decision to permit sales outlets to be open on nine specific Sundays next year.
By and large, these Sundays are reserved for events such as the Osterwiese, Vegesack Festival, or Freimarkt, all in an effort to aid local retail businesses. 🌟
Here are the specific Sundays for shopping in 2025:
- April 27th: Available for the Osterwiese celebration across various districts, including Altstadt, Bahnhofsvorstadt, Ostertor, Steintor, Findorff, and several streets in the area.
- May 4th: Set aside for the Vegesacker Kindertag in district Vegesack and the Gewerbeschau Osterholz in the district of Osterholz.
- June 15th: Allocated for the Borgfelder Sommerfest/Weinfest in district Borgfeld, La Strada events in districts Ostertor, Steintor, Fesenfeld, and certain streets, and various areas in Findorff.
- June 29th: Dedicated to the Gröpelinger Sommer and Sommerfest Habenhausen in district Gröpelingen, as well as districts Industriehäfen and Überseestadt, and specific streets.

These Sundays were proposed by Handelsverband Nordwest e.V., though they are still awaiting approval from the Senate of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen.
It's interesting to note that Sunday shopping in Bremen is primarily tied to special events or occasions, as Sunday shopping is generally restricted in Germany. However, exceptions are usually granted for particular Sundays associated with cultural, festive, or election events.
In case you're wondering, during the German federal election scheduled for September 28, 2025, retail shops are typically allowed to open to accommodate voter turnout and related activities. 🗳️
As for other 2025 exceptions, they would likely be tied to sanctioned local events, but no further specific 2025 exceptions were detailed in the available data. 🎊
That's all the information I have for now, but I'll keep you posted if I come across any new details! 🤝
- For businesses to benefit, it's crucial to monitor the schedule of these special Sundays in Bremen for shopping in 2025.
- If you're interested in finance, understanding the exceptions in Sunday retail restrictions could impact local business revenues in Bremen next year.
