Home / Ramadan Times / Germany / Cologne
This is the complete Ramadan 2027 calendar for Cologne, Germany, thirty rows running from 8 February 2027 to Tue, 9 Mar 2027. The month is expected to open on Monday 8 February 2027 — moon sighting permitting — and to close with Eid al-Fitr around 9–10 March 2027. Day 1 in Cologne runs from Fajr at 06:06 to Maghrib at 17:36 — a fast of 11 hours 30 minutes — and ends at 13 hours 16 minutes on day 30 (Fajr 05:10, Maghrib 18:26). Times are calculated for Cologne itself using the Muslim World League method (Europe/Berlin), so if you live elsewhere in Germany your local times may differ by a few minutes — the further you are from Cologne, the more you should prefer your local mosque's published timetable.
Reading a row in Cologne: Sehri ends at the Fajr figure — 06:06 at the month's start, 05:10 at its end — and the fast, begun after the blessed pre-dawn meal taken just before that deadline, runs untouched until the Maghrib figure. The Iftar moment is the Maghrib figure — 17:36 on day 1, 18:26 on day 30 — the fast is then broken at Iftar, classically with dates and water before the prayer. The abstinence in Cologne lasts 11 hours 30 minutes at the month's opening and 13 hours 16 minutes at its close. The drift is the reason the table exists row by row: across the month Fajr travels 56 minutes and Maghrib 50 minutes in Cologne, so a first-week printout is measurably wrong by the fourth week. Mark the table's last third: the odd nights beginning at Maghrib on 27 February, 1, 3, 5 and 7 March carry the search for Laylat al-Qadr, and in Cologne the 27th night — from Maghrib on 5 March — follows a day whose fast ran 05:17 to 18:21.

The madhab selector on the live page exists for exactly one column. Fajr and Maghrib — the two ends of the fast — are not a madhab question in Cologne: all four schools fast from the same dawn to the same sunset. What differs is Asr: the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali calculation, printed here as 15:07 on day 1, begins when a shadow equals the object's length, while the Hanafi calculation, 15:46 on day 1, waits for twice the length — 39 minutes later in Cologne. Choose your madhab once on the live page and the Asr column, the Today box and the downloadable PDF all follow it — the Sehri and Iftar columns will not change, because they were never in dispute.
Jafari (Shia) times are shown in their own tab on the live page, not mixed into the table above. Applied to Cologne: day 1 Sehri 05:56 (Fajr 06:06 minus 10) and Iftar 17:48 (Maghrib 17:36 plus 12); day 30 Sehri 05:00 and Iftar 18:38. Where your own marja's ruling differs from the 10/12-minute convention, follow that ruling; the tab exists to make the common practice easy to find, not to settle a point of taqlid.
Dua at Sehri (intention): Wa bi-sawmi ghadin nawytu min shahri Ramadan — "I intend to keep the fast for tomorrow in the month of Ramadan." Dua at Iftar: Allahumma inni laka sumtu wa bika aamantu wa 'alayka tawakkaltu wa 'ala rizqika aftartu — "O Allah, I fasted for You, I believe in You, I trust in You, and I break my fast with the provision You have given." Keep both short duas by the table in Cologne: the first is said quietly with the intention before Fajr (06:06 on day 1), the second at the moment of Iftar, with dates and water, before the Maghrib prayer. In the last ten nights add the Laylat al-Qadr dua taught by the Prophet: Allahumma innaka 'afuwwun tuhibbul-'afwa fa'fu 'anni — "O Allah, You are Pardoning and You love pardon, so pardon me."
Method and honesty note for Cologne: calculation method Muslim World League, calculation point Cologne (Europe/Berlin). Fajr and Isha rest on the method's sun angles; Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib follow the sun's actual position over Cologne. Times are printed to the minute, as calculated; a one-minute precaution at Sehri and Iftar is a long-standing local practice in many communities, and your mosque's timetable — which may already include it — takes precedence in any close call.
Why thirty rows when Ramadan may end at twenty-nine? Because the month is completed at 30 only when the Shawwal crescent stays unseen on the 29th evening. The table prints all thirty so both endings are covered: Printing both endings is the only honest way to publish the table in advance. A later announced start shifts everything by a day; an earlier one is not possible once the month has begun. Calculation methods also matter more at the edges of the day than in the middle: the Muslim World League convention fixes the sun angles for Fajr and Isha used for Cologne, while Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib follow the sun directly, which is why timetables from different sources agree on Iftar to the minute but sometimes differ slightly at Fajr and Isha.
A practical closing note for Cologne: the month's fasts here span 11 hours 30 minutes to 13 hours 16 minutes. That is manageable for most healthy adults, but illness, medication, pregnancy and travel each carry their own ruling, and no timetable can see your circumstances. Read the exemption guides below before deciding anything alone, and ask a scholar where your case is unclear: the fast is precious, and so is the health it was never meant to destroy. May Allah accept it from you and from us, and bless the month for Cologne.
The expected first fast in Cologne is Monday 8 February 2027, subject to the sighting of the new moon and the official announcement followed in Germany. If the crescent is not sighted on the expected evening, the month begins a day later and every date in this table shifts by one day — the times themselves, computed for Cologne, barely move between neighbouring days.
The first Sehri deadline in Cologne is 06:06 on Mon, 8 Feb 2027 — and that first fast ends at Maghrib 17:36. That first fast lasts 11 hours 30 minutes. Across the thirty rows the Sehri deadline travels from 06:06 to 05:10, which is why the table prints every day separately.
Times here follow the Muslim World League method for Cologne (Europe/Berlin), which is the convention customarily used for this part of Germany. The method matters most at the day's edges — Fajr (06:06 on day 1) and Isha (19:21) — since Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib track the visible sun. Communities and mosques occasionally adjust by a minute or two for precaution, so treat your local mosque's timetable as final where it differs slightly. A branded PDF calendar for Cologne, in the madhab you select, can be downloaded from the live version of this page.
The two Asr columns are the one place where the four Sunni madhabs differ on this calendar. On day 1 the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali Asr is 15:07, while the Hanafi Asr is 15:46 — 39 minutes later. Both timings are classical and agreed within their schools — they rest on different readings of the shadow hadith, not on geography, so the gap in Cologne (39 minutes on day 1, 47 minutes on day 30) is a fiqh difference, not a calculation error. Pick the column of your own madhab on the live page and the whole table — and the PDF download — follows that choice.
The longest fast in this table is day 30 (Tue, 9 Mar 2027), at 13 hours 16 minutes — Fajr 05:10 to Maghrib 18:26. Compare the shortest fast, day 1 at 11 hours 30 minutes: the whole month in Cologne spans only that narrow band between the two. If Ramadan completes 30 days where you are, the final evening's Maghrib is followed by the night of Eid; if the new moon is sighted a day earlier, Eid falls a day sooner and the final row is not used.
Jafari practice in Cologne is shown separately on the live page: stop eating 10 minutes before Fajr, and break the fast 12 minutes after Maghrib. On day 1 in Cologne that means Sehri by 05:56 (Fajr 06:06 minus 10 minutes) and Iftar at 17:48 (Maghrib 17:36 plus 12 minutes). Treat the Jafari times as the precautionary practice they are labelled as, and follow your own marja's guidance where it differs.
