The night is counted from Maghrib to the next Fajr. Times are calculated for Köln with the same method as the rest of this page; they are not congregation times.

Clocks change on 29 March and 25 October. Prayer times on those days shift by an hour on the clock, not in the sky. Köln 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

Ramadan timetable for KölnKöln, the Sun and the clock
Köln is in North Rhine-Westphalia and has about 1,000,000 people. Köln lies 8° west of the 15° E meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 32 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:32, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests. In summer, when the clocks go forward an hour, that moment moves to around 13:32.
The Sun never stands straight overhead in Köln: 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 Köln range from just 7h 55m in December to 16h 32m in June, a difference of 8h 37m. Prayer times move a lot through the year: in June Fajr comes very early and Isha very late.
The Muslim community in Köln
In the 2011 census, about 11.2% of Cologne's population was Muslim, according to Wikipedia's article on the city; no later census figure is available because religion is not asked in the German census. The same article says about 90,000 residents are of Turkish origin, the second-largest such group among German cities after Berlin, and in 2022 there were 57,135 people with Turkish citizenship, the largest group of foreign nationals. Keupstraße in Mülheim is known for its Turkish shops and restaurants. Citizenship counts and origin counts measure different things, and neither is a count of Muslims.
Cologne is the headquarters of DITIB, the German branch of the Turkish religious affairs authority, and of the Association of Islamic Cultural Centres (VIKZ). DITIB's Cologne Central Mosque in Ehrenfeld was designed by Gottfried Böhm and his son Paul. It was completed in 2017 and formally inaugurated in September 2018. It has two minarets of 55 metres and room for up to 4,000 worshippers, and cost 17 to 20 million euros. Plans for it caused a public dispute from 2007; the city council approved construction on 28 August 2008, and a local poll of 500 residents found 63% in favour. In October 2021 Mayor Henriette Reker announced that Cologne's 35 mosques could apply to broadcast the call to prayer for up to five minutes on Fridays between noon and 3 pm. A two-year pilot agreement began in October 2022, and about ten more communities had shown interest.
For prayer times, Cologne lies at 50.9 degrees north and uses Central European Time (UTC+1) with summer time (UTC+2). On this site's calculation the fast from Fajr to Maghrib in Köln lasts about 17 and a half hours on 21 June and 10 hours on 21 December. Mosques differ in the calculation method they follow, so check the congregation times with your own mosque.
