By USAG Stuttgart Public Affairs
While American Labor Day is many months away, German Labour Day, or Tag der Arbeit, is set for this Thursday, May 1. The local public holiday will lead to some closures.
Some services around the garrison staffed largely by local national professionals will be closed on these days, including the Army Housing Office and Vehicle (POV) Inspection/Customer Service Team.
Vehicle Registration will run by appointment only with no walk-in service. The Personal Property Processing Office and Driver Training and Testing Station will have limited service.
If you’re not sure whether a service will be open, check their page on the USAG Stuttgart or My Army Post apps or the 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, but some German-owned businesses in Exchange facilities will be closed or have revised hours.
