Two mechanical goats emerge from Poznań's town hall clock every day at 12:00 and butt heads twelve times. The first mechanical goats appeared in 1551, when a cook reportedly ruined a banquet roast and substituted two goats he found nearby.
The clock: Poznań keeps UTC+1. The goats are the only reason a large crowd reliably assembles in a Polish market square at exactly midday.
Poznan lies at 16.9°E. Its time zone, UTC+1, is built around the 15°E meridian. The 1.9° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 8 minutes behind the sun: solar noon arrives at about 11:52 rather than 12:00. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 52 minutes and pushing solar noon to 12:52.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 16h 49m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 7h 40m. The swing between them is 9h 9m. 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 Poznan the sun comes up earliest on 18 June at 04:29, while the latest sunset waits until 26 June at 21:19. 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 Poznan that civil twilight runs about 34 minutes at the equinox, stretching to 50 minutes at the solstice.
