Overview

• Totality ran roughly from 19:30 to about 20:52–20:53 local time, and the eclipse ended around 21:57.
• In many regions the moon appeared on the horizon already eclipsed, showing a dark red disk at first sight.
• The reddish hue came from sunlight refracted through Earth's atmosphere, with intensity influenced by haze, smog or thin clouds.
• Crowds gathered at waterfronts and landmarks in Hamburg, Bremen, Munich/Freising and Dresden to watch and photograph the spectacle.
• The next chance to see a total lunar eclipse from Germany is 31 December 2028, while 3 March 2026 favors observers in the Americas or Asia.
