Bakeries in NRW: Note Whitsun opening times and fresh bread rolls!
On the Whitsun weekend 2025, which falls on June 8th and 9th, special regulations apply to the opening times of bakeries in North Rhine-Westphalia. In accordance with the provisions of the North Rhine-Westphalia Shop Opening Act, the bakeries will only be open for a maximum of five hours on Sunday, June 8th. However, businesses can set the exact opening times individually, which is why it is recommended to consult the notices in stores or the bakeries' websites to find out the precise times. Many bakeries tend to open in the morning and offer fresh baked goods. These regulations apply specifically because of the upcoming holiday that celebrates the coming of the Holy Spirit and is considered the "Birthday of the Church" as it is celebrated 50 days after Easter, as well as the WA highlights.
Whit Monday, which falls on June 9th, is another public holiday on which all bakeries and pastry shops in North Rhine-Westphalia must remain closed according to the law. This regulation is part of the regulations for two consecutive holidays, which stipulates that bakeries can only open on the first holiday. Although permitted by law, bakeries are not required to open on Whit Sunday, meaning customers should check the opening times of their preferred bakery before visiting. In other regions, such as the Netherlands, many shops are open on both Sunday and Monday over the Pentecost weekend, although this varies depending on the city, such as 24rhine reported.
