Coverage Across Germany

The directory currently includes 10 cities in Germany. Each city keeps its own coordinates and IANA time zone, so the clocks and solar calculations on the linked pages are tied to that location rather than copied from the capital.

Within this city set, Hamburg is the furthest north and Munich the furthest south, a latitude span of about 5.4°. That geographic separation is why day length, dawn and sunset can differ even when the civil clock is the same.

Dusseldorf and Dresden are the east-west extremes represented here, about 7.0° of longitude apart. Longitude changes when the sun reaches local noon and the horizon, so one sunrise, sunset or prayer timetable should not be reused for every city.
