Germany’s Easter Outlook: Egg Supply Steady, Traffic Jams Likely, Warmth Building

Officials expect enough eggs for Easter despite outbreaks.

Overview

  • Bavaria’s farmers’ association said the Easter egg supply is secured despite recent bird flu and Newcastle disease culls of well over 250,000 birds.
  • Egg‑dyeing businesses and some overregional suppliers report shortfalls, so shoppers may face brief gaps or higher prices for specific sizes, welfare labels or organic eggs.
  • ADAC expects the heaviest road traffic on Maundy Thursday and Easter Monday, with long jams on A1, A3, A7, A8 and other North–South routes.
  • Deutsche Bahn forecasts very full long‑distance trains on those two days and urges seat reservations due to high demand and planned engineering works.
  • Weather models point to a warm turn with about 20°C from Easter Sunday and possibly mid‑20s next week, driven by strong Atlantic storms that may batter the British Isles as DWD still cautions on local detail.
