Prayer times in Eschborn, 2026

Today in Eschborn

Sunday, 11 October 2026 · 30 Rabiʻ II 1448 AH · local time CEST (UTC+2)

Calculated and checked: on all 229 days of 2026 outside Diyanet’s summer period, our six times for Eschborn are within 3 minutes of Aladhan, an independently written calculator run with the same settings. Checked on 11 October 2026.

Each time marks the start of a prayer’s window: broadly, Fajr lasts until sunrise (07:34 today), Dhuhr until Asr begins, Asr until sunset and Maghrib until Isha. If you are new to praying in Germany, expect the times to move quickly: this month Maghrib in Eschborn shifts by up to 3 min and Fajr by up to 2 min from one day to the next, far more than near the equator, so check the table rather than last week’s times.

Short summer nights in Eschborn

Eschborn lies at 50.1° north. In 2026 the longest day here has 16 h 38 min of daylight and the shortest only 8 h 17 min, so Fajr and Isha swing much more over the year than in Turkey, North Africa or South Asia. Around midsummer the sky never gets fully dark: from 15 May to 27 July the sun does not sink far enough below the horizon, and Fajr and Isha are set by a night rule instead (marked * in the table). From 15 April to 28 August Diyanet also switches to its own summer rule for Fajr and Isha, which we cannot reproduce; on those days (marked °) its published Fajr can be up to about 55 minutes later and its Isha up to about 50 minutes earlier than ours. If your mosque follows the Diyanet calendar, use its timetable for those weeks.

Qibla direction from Eschborn

The Qibla from Eschborn is 128° from true north, measured clockwise: roughly south-east. The Kaaba in Makkah is about 4,201 km away along the shortest path over the globe. A phone compass shows magnetic north, which in Germany is currently only a few degrees from true north, so the difference hardly matters when you set up a prayer mat.

Prayer times in nearby cities

Today’s times in the five closest larger cities (50,000+ inhabitants) that have their own page. The sun moves about one degree of longitude every four minutes, so cities further east pray earlier: all five are west of Eschborn, so their Dhuhr is later. “Dhuhr ±” is the difference to Eschborn in minutes.

How the times are calculated

The times are calculated from the position of the sun over the centre of Eschborn (50.14° N, 8.57° E, from GeoNames, CC BY 4.0), not copied from any timetable. By default we use settings that match the tables Diyanet (Türkiye’s Presidency of Religious Affairs) publishes for German cities: Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon, Isha at 16.15°, plus the minute offsets found in those tables (sunrise −7, Dhuhr +5, Asr +4, Maghrib +7 minutes). Asr uses the majority rule (shadow equal to the object’s length plus its midday shadow); the Hanafi time (twice the length) is shown as well.

Before a city gets a page, we compare its times for a whole year with the Aladhan API, an independently written calculator, run with the same settings, and for the largest cities also with Diyanet’s own published yearly table; only cities that stay within 3 minutes on every day outside the summer weeks described above are published. For Eschborn the largest difference was 3 minutes from Aladhan. Aladhan’s Asr follows a slightly different seasonal pattern than ours (up to 2 to 3 minutes apart), while the other five agree within a minute. Many apps use the Muslim World League method instead (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°, no offsets). Here are both for today:
