Ramadan 1448
Ramadan 2027 in Germany
The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day sahur and iftar times across 5 cities.
How Germany decides
Practice varies across Germany: some communities rely on a local moon sighting, while others follow a calculation or Saudi Arabia's announcement.
Germany has no single Islamic authority. The Zentralrat der Muslime confirmed 1 March 2025 for Ramadan 1446. DITIB, the country's largest mosque federation, is the German arm of Turkey's Diyanet and follows its calendar, which set 19 February 2026 for Ramadan 1447 (one day after Saudi Arabia); that DITIB-linked date is recorded here as canonical given DITIB's size.
