Longest and shortest day in Hamburg
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 17h 2m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 4 months, with 7h 27m.
Between them the day length swings by 9h 35m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 15:59 on 13 December; the latest is 21:53 on 24 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 04:50 on 17 June to 08:36 on 30 December.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 16m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Hamburg different
Sitting on the western side of its time zone puts solar noon at 12:22, a full 22 minutes after twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it. Daylight saving adds another hour on top, so today the sun peaks at 13:22.
At 53.6°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 38 minutes to arrive: 14 minutes longer than today's 24-minute median.
Evening golden hour runs 70 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 41 — at 53.6° 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 35m here — among the widest of the 101 cities tracked in Germany.
The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it SW, June swings it 84° round to NW. Tonight, WNW.
By the end of August the sun will be setting 64 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 2 minutes a day.
On 25 October 2026 the local clock shifts back an hour and sunset lands at 17:01 instead of 18:03. Worth knowing if you are planning a shoot that week.
Planning a sunset photo in Hamburg
Arrive by 19:24. Golden hour opens at 19:39 and the sun is down by 20:26, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
