But when are they switching off their last remaining coal power plants?

That is far more urgent. Please leave some nuclear power plants operational if doing so helps you to turn of coal power plants.

Coal plants should be gone by 2038. Though the current government coalition is still trying to speed this up to 2030. This seems not entirely feasible though they'll probably get quite far with it. Anyway, some time between 2030 and 2038 most of these plants should be gone. Lignite should be gone sooner than that.

Yeah, that's the real question here.
