Film production in Koblenz
Between June and December, usable daylight in Koblenz moves by 8h 21min — from 16h 24min down to 8h 03min. An exterior day in December is a different day from one in June. This page carries sunrise, sunset and golden-hour times for all twelve months, the climate profile.
Light and shooting hours
On 15 June, the sun in Koblenz rises at 05:19 and sets at 21:43; the evening golden hour starts at 20:51 and runs for 52 minutes. By December that shifts to 08:24–16:27, with a 58-minute golden-hour window from 15:29.
For scheduling, that means the window for the one shot that lives on light runs between 43 and 58 minutes across the year. Put it last in the day and the first overrun takes it.

Blue hour and shooting windows
Blue hour in Koblenz starts at 22:10 in June and ends at 22:28 — a window of 18 minutes. In December it is 15 minutes from 16:51. If you need a city view with lit windows, that window is all you get.
Sunset moves fastest around the equinoxes: between March (18:34) and September (19:46) there are 72 minutes of difference. A schedule running over several weeks cannot work from one fixed "sunset" time.
Weather and washout risk
Koblenz averages 16 rain days in January and 10 in September. A three-day exterior shoot in January statistically loses 1.6 days — not a forecast, but the basis for deciding whether a cover set belongs in the budget.

Planning a shoot here
A schedule that ignores these numbers looks fine on paper and falls over on the day. TillyGen folds sun position, travel and crew availability straight into the schedule — if the exterior no longer fits before sunset in December, the plan says so, not the wrap report.
