Prayer Times in Dortmund — 2025

Prayer times in Dortmund today (Monday, 31 August 2026): Fajr 04:35, Sunrise 06:41, Dhuhr 13:30, Asr 17:15, Maghrib 20:20, Isha 22:16. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Europe/Berlin timezone (UTC+2 · CEST), the Muslim World League convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Coordinates for Dortmund: 51.5136, 7.4653. Time zone Europe/Berlin (UTC+2 · CEST) already includes daylight saving when the zone observes it, so you do not add or subtract an hour by hand in August. The listed population is about 590,000 people.

For the latitude of Dortmund, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 06:41 and Maghrib is 20:20. Dhuhr (13:30) sits near local solar noon. That seasonal swing is the reason a UK timetable cannot be reused in Germany, and why this page is calculated from Dortmund’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

The Muslim World League method is the starting point on this Dortmund page. Fajr and Isha are defined by solar depression angles (or, for Umm al-Qura, a Maghrib-plus-minutes rule). Asr is shown with the Standard shadow factor of 1, used by the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools and by most Western mosque boards. If a local mosque publishes a different Fajr or Isha angle, pick that method in the selector or apply a minute offset.

Travellers through Dortmund should remember that airport and hotel clocks follow civil time, which this timetable already uses. Maghrib is tied to sunset at the city’s coordinates, not to the time a flight lands.

Qibla from Dortmund is 127.9° from true north (SE), about 4,356 km from the Kaaba in Makkah. A phone compass is only as good as its calibration; once you have identified a wall that faces that bearing, you can mark it and stop re-measuring every day. Magnetic declination is not applied on this page — the figure is geographic, which is what a qibla diagram expects.

Nearby timetables: prayer times in Düsseldorf (58 km), prayer times in Cologne (73 km), prayer times in Frankfurt (178 km), prayer times in Hamburg (284 km), prayer times in Stuttgart (328 km). Neighbouring cities share almost the same latitude, so Fajr and Isha usually differ by one to four minutes — mostly longitude and the minute the time zone snaps to.

This page is an astronomical estimate, not a fatwa and not a substitute for the announcement in your local masjid. Some congregations publish a one- to three-minute precaution. If your mosque uses a different Fajr angle, switch the method above or apply a manual minute offset. For personal prayer, a coordinate-based calculation for Dortmund is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
