Overview

• Totality runs roughly from 19:30 to 20:53 local time, with the Moon exiting Earth’s umbra around 21:57.
• At moonrise the disk is already eclipsed and very dim, so observers may need 30 minutes or more before the deep red Moon becomes visible.
• An unobstructed view to the eastern horizon is key, with moonrise around 19:37 in Berlin, 19:52 in Hamburg, and 20:01 in Cologne.
• Observatories and planetariums across Germany plan weather‑dependent public sessions and guided viewing through telescopes on Sunday evening.
• The event is visible across large parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa, and Germany’s next well‑seen total lunar eclipse is due on 31 December 2028.
