Sunday, March 31st will see the clocks wound forward from 2am to 3am as summer time starts. Yet amid widespread support for adopting summer time all year ‘round, it might be one of the last times Germans wind back the clock.
The EU Commission is set to push through proposals to scrap seasonal time changes, or at least to let each EU state decide how it wants to run its own time. Could the result be a mixed patchwork of time zones?
The clocks will go back one hour this weekend. But a new survey has found more than 80 percent of Germans are in favour of abolishing Daylight Saving Time (DST).
Time magazine Wednesday named German Chancellor Angela Merkel as its "Person of the Year 2015," hailing her
leadership during Europe's debt, refugee and migrant crises, as well as Russia's intervention in Ukraine.
On Sunday Germany turns its clocks back to mark the end of Central European Summer Time. It's a tradition that's been part of German calendars for the past 25 years - but does it do us any good?
Germany's top time scientists are ready to spring into action in the dead of night on Tuesday, inserting an extra second into the clock while everyone else is asleep.
Summer is coming, but only in name. Clocks go forward an hour at 2 am on Sunday, depriving Germans of 60 minutes of sleep but also treating them to an extra hour of daylight to enjoy crunching through the unseasonable snow on Easter Day.
A majority of Germans could do without changing their clocks an hour twice a year, according to a new survey. Women especially don't care much for springing forward or falling back.
