Golden and blue hour in Hannover: all twelve months

Everything derives from the coordinates of Hannover (52.3759, 9.732) and the Europe/Berlin timezone — no estimates. The planning-relevant part: the evening window here swings between 45 minutes in March and 64 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 05:55 in June) instead requires camera and lighting to be standing before sunrise — with a call well before 04:59.

After sunset, Hannover still offers the blue hour: from 22:15 to 22:35 in June (20 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.

How accurate are the times?

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.
