As the long Easter weekend approaches, many families in the Kleverland region are gearing up for a festive breakfast filled with fresh rolls and baked treats. However, the availability of these goodies may be limited, as not all bakeries will be open during the holiday period. In fact, due to legal regulations, bakeries across the region are entirely closed on Easter Monday, April 21, 2025.
In North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), the opening hours of bakeries during the Easter holidays are governed by the Shop Opening Act (LÖG). According to §5 of this law, bakeries can operate for a maximum of five hours on Sundays and public holidays. This means that on Good Friday, April 18, 2025, bakeries may open for a limited time, despite the dancing ban that is in effect on this national holiday.
For many residents, the Easter weekend is a perfect opportunity to indulge in a hearty breakfast, complete with fresh bread and perfectly boiled eggs. But are bakeries in NRW actually open on Good Friday? The answer is yes, but it depends on individual bakery decisions. Each bakery has the discretion to choose whether to open its doors on this holiday.
For those wondering about specific bakeries, a detailed overview of their Easter holiday hours has been compiled.
