Germany Moon Phase FAQ

On Sunday 4 October 2026, the moon phase today in Germany is a Last Quarter, with 46% illumination. Next full moon: 26 Oct. The Moon is about 22.6 days into its 29.5-day cycle.
The phase itself doesn't change from place to place — everyone on the night side of Earth sees the same phase at the same moment. What shifts across Germany is when the Moon rises and sets, and how high it climbs. The country spans about 9° of longitude, so moonrise and moonset come roughly half an hour earlier in the far east than in the far west. It also spans about 8° of latitude, so a full Moon near the winter solstice climbs to about 58° in the far north and 66° in the far south, while a full Moon near the summer solstice stays low, at roughly 12° to 19°.
All times on this page use the local time of the city you search for. Germany has a single time zone: Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) in summer. Clocks go forward on the last Sunday of March and back on the last Sunday of October. Whichever German city you choose, the times shown are already adjusted to its local clock.
A full moon happens roughly every 29.5 days — the length of the synodic month, the time it takes the Moon to cycle through all its phases as seen from Earth. That works out to about 12 or 13 full moons a year. Check the "Next Full Moon" figure on the calculator above for the exact upcoming date.
Like the Sun, the Moon rises in the east and sets in the west, but its exact rising and setting points swing widely through the month — roughly from north-east to south-east for rising and from north-west to south-west for setting — and it reaches its highest point in the southern sky. Because Germany is in the Northern Hemisphere, a waxing (growing) Moon is lit on its right side and a waning Moon on its left. The Moon's path is the mirror of the Sun's: a full Moon rides high in winter and low in summer.

Moon Phases Explained

The Moon doesn't change shape — only the angle of sunlight across its surface does. As it orbits Earth over 29.5 days, that shifting angle produces eight distinct phases, each with its own character and its own best targets for observation.

How this looks from Germany

Germany runs from the Alpine south around 47°N up to the Baltic and North Sea coasts near 55°N, with Berlin sitting at roughly 52.5°N — a similar latitude band to northern France and southern Scandinavia, and comparable to much of the UK. At that latitude, the Moon's terminator sits at a noticeably steep, more vertical angle than observers see nearer the equator, and how high the Moon arcs across the sky shifts substantially with the seasons — a winter full moon rides high overhead while a summer full moon stays comparatively low.
