About Berlin's time zone

Berlin follows Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October. Berlin is the economic and political heart of Europe's largest economy. The Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse), which operates in the same time zone, is the 12th largest exchange in the world by market capitalization.

Did you know? Germany actually spans two geographical time zones — western Germany (near the UK) would naturally be on UTC+0, but the entire country uses CET (UTC+1). This means the sun sets almost an hour later than it 'should' in western German cities like Cologne, which natives love for its long summer evenings.
