About the time in Hessen
The zone identifier Europe/Berlin is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Europe/Berlin keeps pointing at Berlin time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 06:21 and sunset at 08:33 local time, giving 14h 13m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (50.55, 9.00) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Hessen.
Around 6,243,262 people live in Hessen, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
