🌒 The solar eclipse on 12 August 2026 – what Germany can expect
On the evening of 12 August 2026, an extraordinary celestial event is set to take place: a total solar eclipse will pass over parts of Europe – though not over Germany. Here in Germany, we will experience an impressive partial eclipse, which will nonetheless provide a rare and spectacular spectacle.
🔭 What can you see in Germany?
Germany lies entirely in the penumbra of the Moon. As a result, the Sun is not completely obscured, but is clearly nibbled away at. The extent of the eclipse varies from region to region:
Berlin: approx. 85% coverage
Bremen: approx. 86%
Düsseldorf / North Rhine-Westphalia: approx. 88%
Frankfurt am Main: approx. 88%
This makes Germany one of the regions with the highest coverage outside the totality zone.
🕒 Times of darkness in Germany
The eclipse will take place in the early evening – perfect for viewing, as the sun is still relatively high in the sky but the light is already softening.
Start of the partial phase: approx. 19:11–19:20 CEST
End of the partial phase: approx. 20:48–21:03 CEST
