The clock: Linz keeps UTC+1 on the Danube. The Linzer Torte, documented in a 1653 recipe, is generally reckoned the oldest cake recipe in the world still in use.
Linz lies at 14.3°E. Its time zone, UTC+1, is built around the 15°E meridian. The two very nearly coincide: solar noon — the moment the sun is highest — falls at about 12:03, which is as close to true solar time as a zone this wide can get. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 63 minutes and pushing solar noon to 13:03.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 16h 6m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 8h 20m. The swing between them is 7h 46m. 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 Linz the sun comes up earliest on 17 June at 05:01, while the latest sunset waits until 27 June at 21:08. 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 Linz that civil twilight runs about 31 minutes at the equinox, stretching to 42 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.
