Another German here. I'm legitimately surprised by this article saying that the entirety of Sunday is considered Ruhezeit. It's true that most stores are closed on Sunday, but I've done plenty of vacuuming and laundry on Sundays and never had anyone complain.
Just to be sure, I just checked the house rules attached to my lease contract, and they define Ruhezeiten as Mon-Fri 13-15, 22-6 and Sat-Sun 13-15, 22-8. This is in East Germany, maybe the entire Sunday thing is a West German thing?
- Moru 5y agoI was helping my mother in law mow the lawn a sunday afternoon, just like swedish people does it. Turns out that is a nono. West Germany.
- ajmurmann 5y agoI remember not being allowed to mow the lawn on Sundays. Nobody would call the cops on you, but your neighbors sure wouldn't like it.
- Laforet 5y agoWhy 13-15? Is siesta a thing in Germany too?
