How the Sun moves through the year in Berlin
Sunrise: Northeast (48°). Sunset: Northwest (312°).
Sunrise: Southeast (130°). Sunset: Southwest (231°).
These bearings are calculated for Berlin's coordinates rather than using a generic east/west rule. The shift between the two solstices shows how far the sunrise and sunset points move along the local horizon over the year.
Local horizon context

Official solar times assume an astronomical horizon. Buildings, trees, hills or other obstructions described in the local notes can change when the Sun first or last becomes visible from a particular street or viewpoint.
What this city page is for
