Like with any holiday (or Sunday), shops are going to be closed on Monday to celebrate the second day of Christmas, sometimes known as Boxing Day or 2. Weihnachtstag. Most of them, that is. This sparks the semi-annual holiday ritual of panic shopping among locals (which seems odd considering their knack for planning) and leads to pure panic among foreigners who have not yet developed the sixth Teutonic sense of when shops are open and closed. But we've got you covered with a directory of places that will still be open with more on offer than your neighbourhood Späti both Sunday and Monday.

Spandau

Bro, either you come into the city or you see if they’ve got what you need at the Rewe-to-go at the Aral gas station at Falkenseer Damm 16 (24/7/365). Quit whining that we don’t cover enough Spandau. You’re the one who decided to move there (though tbh Die Ärzte and Florida Eis are from there so it’s not all bad).
