Golden and blue hour in Duisburg: all twelve months
Everything derives from the coordinates of Duisburg (51.4344, 6.7623) and the Europe/Berlin timezone — no estimates. The planning-relevant part: the evening window here swings between 44 minutes in March and 61 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 06:10 in June) instead requires camera and lighting to be standing before sunrise — with a call well before 05:16.
After sunset, Duisburg still offers the blue hour: from 22:20 to 22:39 in June (19 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.
