The schools differ in the details, for example about the time after Asr and about make-up prayers, so ask your own scholar if you are unsure.

Daylight saving

29 March, 25 OctoberEurope/Berlin

Clocks change on 29 March and 25 October. Prayer times on those days shift by an hour on the clock, not in the sky. Bad Hersfeld is above 48° latitude, so in summer twilight never fully ends. Fajr and Isha then use the seventh-of-the-night rule, a standard high latitude adjustment. How times are calculated

Bad Hersfeld, the Sun and the clock

Bad Hersfeld is in Hesse and has about 31,000 people. The nearest larger city is Fulda, 36 km to the south. Bad Hersfeld lies 5.3° west of the 15° E meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 21 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:21, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests. In summer, when the clocks go forward an hour, that moment moves to around 13:21.

The Sun never stands straight overhead in Bad Hersfeld: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 63° above the horizon in June and only 16° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in Bad Hersfeld range from just 7h 56m in December to 16h 31m in June, a difference of 8h 35m. Prayer times move a lot through the year: in June Fajr comes very early and Isha very late.
