The clock: Leipzig keeps UTC+1. Bach was cantor at the Thomaskirche here for 27 years, writing to a liturgical calendar that ran on the church's clock rather than the city's.
Leipzig lies at 12.4°E. Its time zone, UTC+1, is built around the 15°E meridian. The 2.6° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 10 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:10 rather than 12:00. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 70 minutes and pushing solar noon to 13:10.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 16h 37m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 7h 51m. The swing between them is 8h 45m. 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 Leipzig the sun comes up earliest on 18 June at 04:53, while the latest sunset waits until 26 June at 21:31. 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 Leipzig that civil twilight runs about 33 minutes at the equinox, stretching to 47 minutes at the solstice.
