Maghrib is the sunset prayer, performed immediately after the sun disappears. It is a moment of gratitude and the time for breaking fast during Ramadan.

Because Köln is located at a high latitude of 50.93° N, it encounters the 'Persistent Twilight' phenomenon during the summer. At this latitude, the sun does not descend far enough (18 degrees) below the horizon. Consequently, Maghrib is calculated using the 'Nearest Latitude' or 'One-Seventh' rule. During the month of March, the solar path in Köln results in a shifting schedule. The Maghrib window is moving 2 minute(s) later by tomorrow. The Islamic night in Köln spans from sunset to dawn. Islamic Midnight is at 23:45, while the 'Last Third' of the night—the ideal time for Tahajjud—starts at 01:33.
