In Germany Sunday is by law a day of rest. No retail or grocery stores are open on Sunday which obviously make Saturday shopping a nightmare. There are even rules about what you can even do in your own home on Sunday.
The quiet time law covers Monday through Saturday at 1:00pm to 3:00pm and then again between 10:00pm to 7:00am and all day Sunday. So during these times you are prohibited from doing things like playing loud music or tv, vacuuming or mowing your lawn. It has taken some time to get used to having essentially a free pass on errands and housework, but I've started to embrace lazy Sundays.
So far, we haven't needed to be too careful about our Sunday activities because we have no one else living in our building. However, next month our new downstairs neighbor will be moving in. Hopefully, he will be an early riser as I hate to give up my French aerobics show at 6:30 am.
