Time difference between Berlin and Beijing

Beijing is 6 hours ahead of Berlin

Berlin, Germany is UTC+1 · Beijing, China is UTC+8 — on standard time

The gap is not the same all year

Every converter gives one number for this pair. That number is right for most of the year and wrong for part of it, because Berlin goes forward on the last Sunday in March and back on the last Sunday in October and Beijing does not change its clocks.

Beijing stays put all year while Berlin moves, so a meeting fixed in Beijing's calendar shifts by an hour twice a year at Berlin's end.
