Golden and blue hour in Grünwald: all twelve months
Everything derives from the coordinates of Grünwald (48.0402, 11.5228) and the Europe/Berlin timezone — no estimates. The planning-relevant part: the evening window here swings between 41 minutes in March and 54 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 06:03 in June) instead requires camera and lighting to be standing before sunrise — with a call well before 05:14.
After sunset, Grünwald still offers the blue hour: from 21:41 to 21:57 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.
