RHEINLAND-PFALZ – Supermarkets and certain other shops in Rhineland-Palatinate are also allowed to open on the Easter holidays. The dealers decide whether they also make use of it. The supervisory and service directorate (ADD) in Trier confirmed this to the SWR on Friday.
The basis for this is the Third Corona Control Ordinance for Rhineland-Palatinate of March 23. It states that for certain stores “opening on all Sundays and public holidays from 12 noon to 6 pm for the sale of goods is permitted”. So also on Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday. So shop openings would have been allowed on the previous Sunday, but hardly any shop in Mainz, for example, made use of it.
