There are two upcoming local holidays on Friday, April 3 (Good Friday), and Monday, April 6 (Easter Monday).
This means that some services around the garrison staffed largely by local national professionals will be closed, including: the Army Housing Office, Driver Testing Office, and Vehicle (POV) Inspection/Customer Service Team. Vehicle Registration serves customers on an appointment-only basis, with no walk-in service.
In addition to upcoming closures, community members should be prepared for heavy traffic this week. Both students of on-post schools and local schools will be on break next week and there are back to back USAREUR-AF training holidays. Expect heavy traffic on Friday, March 27, as families with school-aged children set off for vacation.
If you’re not sure whether a garrison service will be open, check their page on the MyArmyPostApp or garrison website. If an office closes or adjusts availability on German holidays, this will be noted. For further questions, please contact the service directly.
Assume that most places on the economy which are usually closed on Sundays will also be closed on the holiday. This includes off-post grocery and retail stores (Commissaries and Exchange-operated facilities will operate with normal hours).
