Good to know about the time in Germany
Germany is on the same time as France all year round: UTC+1 in winter, UTC+2 in summer. Time in Berlin
Germany was the first country to apply daylight saving time nationwide, on 30 April 1916, to save coal during the war. Today, German legal time is produced by the national metrology institute in Braunschweig (PTB), whose atomic clocks are broadcast by the DCF77 transmitter near Frankfurt. This signal sets most radio-controlled clocks in Western Europe, including those in France.
