The eclipse runs from about 19:14 to 21:00 CEST, with maximum at around 20:08 and the Sun ~6° above the west-northwest horizon. The Sun sets at 20:58 CEST, during the eclipse, so the later stages happen below the horizon — an open west-northwest view is essential.

Northern Germany in August is genuinely changeable — sun and showers in the same evening are normal.

The deciding factor here is simply whether the sky is clear at the right moment. Check the forecast in the final 48 hours and, if you can, keep the option of moving to a gap in the cloud.

Συχνές ερωτήσεις για την έκλειψη στην Bremen

Will Bremen see a total solar eclipse on 12 August 2026?

No. Bremen is outside the path of totality and sees a partial eclipse, with about 86.1% of the Sun covered at maximum. It is a striking sight through eclipse glasses, but the corona does not appear and the sky does not go dark. The path of totality crosses northern Spain.

What time is the eclipse in Bremen?

The partial phase begins at about 19:14 CEST and maximum — 86.1% coverage — comes at roughly 20:08 CEST. The Sun sets at 20:58 CEST, during the eclipse, so the later stages happen below the horizon — an open west-northwest view is essential.

Do I need eclipse glasses in Bremen?

Yes, for the entire eclipse without exception. Because the Sun is never fully covered, there is never a safe moment to look with the naked eye. Even at 86.1% coverage the remaining sliver is dangerously bright. Certified ISO 12312-2 / CE glasses stay on from start to finish.

Where should I watch from in Bremen?

The Sun is only about 6° above the horizon, so you need an open, unobstructed view to the west-northwest. Buildings, hills and trees in that direction will hide the deepest phase.

Will the weather be clear in Bremen on eclipse day?

Northern Germany in August is genuinely changeable — sun and showers in the same evening are normal.
