Golden and blue hour in St. Pölten: all twelve months
Everything derives from the coordinates of St. Pölten (48.2047, 15.6256) and the Europe/Vienna 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 05:46 in June) instead requires camera and lighting to be standing before sunrise — with a call well before 04:57.
After sunset, St. Pölten still offers the blue hour: from 21:25 to 21:42 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.
