Easter 2008 in Germany

Does anyone know if the schools in Germany are closed the week of Easter? Is the Monday after Easter a holiday that everything is closed? One of the time periods my husband and I are considering our trip to Germany is during the Easter holiday. I just want to make sure that things will be open the Tuesday through Friday of Easter week.

Thanks!

Karen, in most German states schools are closed the week before and the week after Easter. Both Goodfriday and Easter Monday are public holidays! So Keep please note: Shops close at 10pm on Thursday and won't reopen until 8am on Saturday. They'll then close from 10pm on Saturday until 8am on Tuesday.
