- Germany lies in the penumbra, so the eclipse is only partial there, with roughly 85 to more than 90 percent of the Sun’s disk covered depending on location.
- The greatest obscuration is expected in the southwest, including around Freiburg and Lake Constance, while the nationwide peak is expected at about 8:15 p.m.
- Observation requires an undamaged eclipse viewer meeting DIN EN ISO 12312-2:2015 and bearing a CE mark; ordinary sunglasses and unsuitable substitutes do not provide sufficient protection.
- The article cites a camera obscura as an alternative and lists planned broadcasts by NASA and ESA from 7:15 p.m. and by ZDF from 8 p.m., including coverage from Mallorca.

- According to Sabine Frank, the eclipse should be particularly easy to observe in eastern Hesse under clear or lightly cloudy skies, provided the view westward is unobstructed.
- Observation is recommended from 19:15 in eastern Hesse; first contact is given as 19:19, maximum coverage as 20:12, and sunset as 20:46.
- Up to 89 percent of the Sun will be obscured from Germany, making it appear, according to the report, as dark as it has not been since the total eclipse of 1999.
- A special eclipse-viewing glasses or suitable filter is required for eye protection; ordinary sunglasses do not provide sufficient protection, according to Sabine Frank.
When looking at the sun without protection, ultraviolet radiation, visible light and infrared radiation hit the eye's delicate structures with very high intensity.— Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz — safety warning about viewing a solar eclipse.
