May 1st, known as Labour Day or Tag der Arbeit in Germany, is a public holiday with a rich history, initially rooted in labor strikes from 1886 in the United States. Over time, while this tradition faded in the US, Germany and around 65 other countries still commemorate it. As a national holiday, it impacts nearly all federal states in Germany, leading to the closure of most shops. However, certain train station supermarkets may remain open, so checking local hours is advisable for those needing essentials on that day.
On Labour Day, most businesses in Germany shut down, so it's wise to stock up on essentials in advance and be prepared for limited options.
Labour Day, or Tag der Arbeit, is a public holiday in Germany with roots in historical labor movements, unlike its diminishing observance in the US.
