About the time in Hanover
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Hanover day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 14:00–22:00 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.
Sunrise today lands at 06:14 and sunset at 07:54 local time, giving 13h 39m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (42.26, -90.28) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Hanover.
Around 814 people live in Hanover, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
