Sonn- und Feiertagsarbeit im Reisegewerbe: Ausnahmegenehmigung beantragen

The offering of goods (offering for sale) and catering activities in the traveling trade are exempt from the Sunday and public holiday rest period. Further exemptions can be applied for.

If you operate a traveling trade, you must generally comply with the provisions of the Shop Opening Act and the Act on the Protection of Sundays and Public Holidays. An exception to the Sunday and public holiday rest period applies to the offering (offering for sale) of goods and to catering activities in the itinerant trade. The exemptions also apply to self-employed tradespeople who visit other people in the course of their business.

Further exemptions must be expressly approved by the competent authority upon application.

• Identity card or passport, if applicable
• Extract from the commercial register
• Travel trade license
• Documents documenting the project, if applicable

The Trade Regulation Act defines a traveling trade as an itinerant trade, for example the owner of a market stall, showman or "flying trader". You operate an itinerant trade if you offer goods or services commercially outside your commercial establishment or without having a commercial establishment without making an appointment in advance. To operate a traveling trade, you need a permit, the traveling trade card.

• Contradiction

Exceptions to Sundays and public holidays in the itinerant trade require express approval in certain cases.
