About the time in Altena
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Altena day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 07:00–15:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Altena runs on Europe/Berlin, which puts the city UTC +2 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
Altena sits at latitude 51.28, in the temperate-north band, so day length here swings sharply between midwinter and midsummer — today's 14h 13m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
