Film production in Unterföhring
Between June and December, usable daylight in Unterföhring moves by 7h 40min — from 16h 03min down to 8h 23min. 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 and the local production landscape.
Light and shooting hours
On 15 June, the sun in Unterföhring rises at 05:13 and sets at 21:16; the evening golden hour starts at 20:27 and runs for 49 minutes. By December that shifts to 07:58–16:21, with a 54-minute golden-hour window from 15:27.
In practice, a spread of 7h 40min means a schedule that works here in summer does not work in winter at the same location — with the same setup count, the hours simply are not there.

Blue hour and shooting windows
Blue hour in Unterföhring starts at 21:41 in June and ends at 21:58 — a window of 17 minutes. In December it is 14 minutes from 16:43. If you need a city view with lit windows, that window is all you get.
Sunset moves fastest around the equinoxes: between March (18:18) and September (19:29) there are 71 minutes of difference. A schedule running over several weeks cannot work from one fixed "sunset" time.
Weather and washout risk
Unterföhring averages 16 rain days in May and 11 in October. A three-day exterior shoot in May 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.
