Longest and shortest day in Berlin

The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 16h 50m of daylight.

The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 4 months, with 7h 38m.

Between them the day length swings by 9h 11m.

Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night Clock change

The earliest sunset of the year is at 15:51 on 13 December; the latest is 21:33 on 25 June. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 04:42 on 17 June to 08:17 on 30 December.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 16m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Berlin different

Light lingers for 37 minutes after sunset before civil twilight ends — 13 minutes longer than the 24-minute median across tracked cities, which is what 52.5°N buys you.

Evening golden hour runs 69 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 41 — at 52.5° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.

Between the June and December solstices the length of the day swings by 9h 11m here — among the widest of the 101 cities tracked in Germany.

Between solstices the sunset walks 82° across the horizon — SW in midwinter, NW in midsummer — which is why a fixed viewpoint works only part of the year. Today's bearing is WNW.

Across August the sunset moves 62 minutes earlier, averaging about 2 minutes a day.

The clocks go back on 25 October 2026, so the sunset jumps from 17:52 to 16:50 overnight — the sun has not moved, the clock has.

Planning a sunset photo in Berlin

Arrive by 19:09. Golden hour opens at 19:24 and the sun is down by 20:10, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 289° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.

Do not pack up at sunset. Blue hour follows from 20:32 and runs to 20:47, the end of civil twilight and 36m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
