Wiesbaden’s supermarkets close on December 26—here’s where to shop instead
December 26th will see all supermarkets in Wiesbaden shut their doors. The second day of Christmas falls under strict shop closing laws, leaving major chains like Aldi, AI, and Rewe unavailable. Residents will need to look elsewhere for last-minute supplies or forgotten items.
Germany's shop closing laws mean no large supermarkets will operate on December 26th. Aldi, AI, Rewe, Edeka, and Kaufland will remain closed, along with most bakeries. Those in need of essentials will have to seek out alternatives.
Some train stations and airports may still have stores open, though this depends on the operator. Gas stations could also provide limited options, but customers should expect higher prices and a reduced selection. Meanwhile, farm shops will stay open, offering fresh and regional produce for those willing to visit. Planning ahead remains the simplest solution. Stocking up before the holidays avoids the hassle of searching for open shops. Neighbours can also be a useful resource if something is missing at the last minute.
With supermarkets and bakeries closed, options on December 26th will be limited. Train stations, airports, and farm shops may provide some relief, but availability varies. Those who prepare in advance will face fewer difficulties during the holiday.
