FAQ > What to Know About Germany > What is the time difference between the USA and Germany?
Germans are awake in the morning when America is still sleeping. That’s because the earth is a ball and moves. If you want to know what the time is in Germany just add some hours to your time: PST + 9 hours, so 8:00 am in Los Angeles is 5 pm in Wittenberg; MST + 8 hours; CST + 7 hours and EST + 6 hours.
If it happens that you life in Australia you are the most ahead – even earlier than the Germans. Subtract eight hours when you live in Sydney. And if your home is Central or Southern Africa it’s very easy: Germans use your time!
