Veiling Rhein-Maas will remain open until the end of 2020 according to the regular annual schedule!

15 December 2020

Please note that the auction at the market place in Straelen-Herongen will remain open without change until the end of 2020. All regular auction days will take place normally as planned. Veiling Rhein-Maas will continue to auction the flowers and plants of the suppliers as a reliable partner including the Clock Service and the Webshop.


However, please bear in mind that there will be changes to the regular supply and opening times around the coming holidays.

New measures in NRW and the Netherlands
In Germany and the Netherlands, stricter measures to contain the Corona pandemic were put in place earlier this week.
In North Rhine-Westphalia, florist shops (according to §11, paragraph 1, sentences 7 and 8) are excluded from the officially imposed shop closures from Wednesday, 16 December 2020, and can continue to open during the lockdown. The operation of hardware stores and garden centres is also still permitted, but only to supply tradespeople.
In the Netherlands, shops already had to close today on 15 December 2020. In addition to grocery shops, stores selling Christmas trees and flowers are allowed to sell their products outside the business premises.

Protect yourself and surroundings
In order to ensure that the auction at Veiling Rhein-Maas continues to be held safely, we once again remind our customers and suppliers to observe the existing rules (1.5 m distance, hygiene measures and the wearing of face masks). Wearing a mask is mandatory in all public areas of Veiling Rhein-Maas since the beginning of October 2020 and is indispensable for using our services.

Latest information
Depending on the current developments around the Corona virus in the coming weeks, we will decide about our opening times from January 2021 onwards. We will inform you about changes on our website and, if necessary, in our newsletters. In addition, we recommend that our suppliers coordinate their planned supplies with the Assortment and Import Management and that our customers stay in close contact with the Relation Management.
