Good to know about the time in Berlin
Berlin is on the same time as Paris all year round: UTC+1 at the moment. Central European Time is in fact roughly the time of its meridian: the sun is at its highest there around 12:06 in winter and 13:06 in summer (mean solar noon), more than an hour earlier than in Brest.
Germany adopted this single time in 1893 and, in 1916, became the first country to use daylight saving time, to save coal during the war. Daylight saving time around the world
