Golden and blue hour in Ludwigsburg: all twelve months
Everything derives from the coordinates of Ludwigsburg (48.8976, 9.1916) and the Europe/Berlin timezone — no estimates. The planning-relevant part: the evening window here swings between 42 minutes in March and 55 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 05:20.
After sunset, Ludwigsburg still offers the blue hour: from 21:55 to 22:12 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.
