Shopping Sunday: Autumn market in Reichenbach delights families!

On October 26, 2025, Reichenbach an der Fils invites you to a lively shopping Sunday. This special event is part of the annual Reichenbach Autumn Market, which begins at 11 a.m. and features a variety of antiques and craft stalls. At the same time, visitors have the opportunity to explore a children's market and a regular flea market. A lantern parade for children also starts at 4 p.m., making the event particularly exciting for the little visitors.

Sales times are from 12pm to 5pm, however the weather on Sunday is expected to be mixed, with maximum temperatures of around 10°C and light rain. It should be noted that no further Sunday openings have been set in Reichenbach so far.

Legal framework

In Baden-Württemberg, up to three Sunday openings are permitted per year, although there are exceptions on certain public holidays such as Easter, Pentecost and the Christmas holidays. Historically, until the end of the 19th century, it was common for shops to be open all seven days of the week. From 1919, Sunday was established as a day of rest. Nowadays, shops in Germany are allowed to open on four Sundays a year, although the federal states can adjust this number at their own discretion.

For comparison, other countries have different regulations: In Italy, up to eight shopping Sundays are allowed, although there are exceptions in Rome. In Greece, shops are mostly closed on Sundays, while in Eastern Europe, such as the Czech Republic and Hungary, there are few restrictions.

Technological trends in retail

Digitalization is playing an increasingly important role in the modern retail landscape. An example of this is the Amazon shopping app, which offers exclusive benefits for faster and easier shopping. Users can browse millions of products, read reviews and make purchases. Special features of the app include real-time order tracking and a 360° product view that allows for better visualization of items. This shows how retail is adapting to the needs of customers in the digital age.

The app is available in multiple languages ​​and allows users to switch between international Amazon sites, which is particularly beneficial for frequent travelers.

Another technological advancement is the use of platforms such as YouTube, which play a key role in education and information. About 94% of teachers use YouTube to support their lesson plans. The new music education series “Think Like a Musician” shows how videos can be used effectively not only for entertainment, but also for imparting knowledge.
