Reading opening hours
Every shop door shows its Öffnungszeiten:
- geöffnet = open
- geschlossen = closed
- von 9 bis 18 Uhr = from 9 to 6
Restaurants add a Ruhetag — their fixed weekly closing day. Reading these signs is a real task in the Lesen exam.

Sundays in Germany almost everything is geschlossen — plan your shopping around it.
