Reformation Day: These Göttingen facilities remain closed!
On Friday, October 31, 2025, we will celebrate Reformation Day, and this will have some impact on the opening hours of municipal facilities in Göttingen. As the city of Göttingen reports, the New Town Hall and other offices will remain closed on this holiday. This also includes the Old Town Hall, the Municipal Museum on Ritterplan, the municipal library on Gotmarstrasse and the municipal archive. The administrative offices in Geismar, Weende and Grone are also not available. If you still want to do something, you're in luck: the tourist information center at the market opens its doors from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
But that's not all. The Göttingen waste disposal companies also have to close their doors on this day. Waste disposal tours that were scheduled for October 31st will be postponed to Saturday, November 1st. This means that city residents will have to schedule an additional pickup time for their waste that day. Further information can be found here Same digital.
Changes in waste disposal
For the garbage workers, Reformation Day is a welcome opportunity to enjoy a day off. This holiday also brings with it deviations in the collection schedule in other regions.
