German clock facts

  • Daylight saving ended on Sunday, October 25, 2026. Germany is on CET, UTC+1, on November 12 and November 19.
  • Berlin is one hour ahead of London (GMT) and six hours ahead of New York (Eastern).
  • France, Spain, Italy and most of Central Europe use the same clock, so the Berlin row applies to them as well.
  • A midnight pre-load in Germany is 23:00 UTC on November 11, so UTC tables on other sites run one day behind your local date.
