About the time in Giessen
Around 8 people live in Giessen, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Giessen sits at latitude 47.40, in the temperate-north band, so day length here swings sharply between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 56m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Giessen 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.
