Golden and blue hour in Brno: all twelve months
Everything derives from the coordinates of Brno (49.1951, 16.6068) and the Europe/Prague timezone — no estimates. The planning-relevant part: the evening window here swings between 42 minutes in March and 56 in December — schedule "an hour" and you are wrong in both.

Fitting the window into the shoot day
The evening window is the reliable half: the crew is warmed up, the setup exists, and golden hour is the last slot before wrap. The morning window right after sunrise (until 05:39 in June) instead requires camera and lighting to be standing before sunrise — with a call well before 04:49.
After sunset, Brno still offers the blue hour: from 21:27 to 21:44 in June (17 minutes). If you need both looks on one evening, everything from the start of golden hour to the end of blue hour is one continuous window — with no room for a re-rig inside it.

To about one minute (standard NOAA-style solar computation). Not included: horizon shading from buildings or hills to the west — which can genuinely shorten the window at your location.
