Overview

• Totality is scheduled for about 19:30 to 20:53 local time, with the Moon entering Earth’s umbra around 18:27 and fully exiting the umbra near 21:57.
• Because the Moon rises already eclipsed in most of Germany, observers should seek an unobstructed eastern horizon and expect to wait roughly 30 minutes after moonrise before the dark red disk becomes easy to spot.
• The Deutscher Wetterdienst cites higher viewing odds in southern and northeastern regions, with uncertainty from a western disturbance and possible fog or low cloud.
• Planetariums and observatories plan weather‑dependent public sessions, including in Berlin, Stuttgart, Munich and at the Bodensee Planetarium, and no eye protection or specialized gear is needed.
• Basic smartphone photography suffices for overview images of the reddish Moon, and the next total lunar eclipse visible from Germany occurs on 31 December 2028.
