Did You Know?
Bremen is one of Germany's three city-states, alongside Hamburg and Berlin, and consists of two separate pieces — the city itself and Bremerhaven, 60 km downstream, with someone else's territory in between.
The clock: Bremen keeps UTC+1. Its Roland statue, from 1404, and the town hall are both on the UNESCO list as symbols of civic independence.
Bremen lies at 8.8°E. Its time zone, UTC+1, is built around the 15°E meridian. The 6.2° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 25 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:25 rather than 12:00. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 85 minutes and pushing solar noon to 13:25.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 16h 57m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 7h 33m. The swing between them is 9h 24m. This is the latitude band where the difference between summer and winter evenings is most obvious.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Bremen the sun comes up earliest on 18 June at 04:57, while the latest sunset waits until 26 June at 21:55. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.
The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Bremen that civil twilight runs about 35 minutes at the equinox, stretching to 52 minutes at the solstice.
Every figure in this section is computed from the city's own latitude, longitude and IANA time zone using NOAA solar algorithms (Spencer, 1971), accurate to about ±2 arcminutes below 65° latitude.
