Kaliningrad prayer times overview
The Kaliningrad page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
Kaliningrad prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 1 hour behind Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
Kaliningrad geographic location is 54.7065°N, 20.5110°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. In this latitude zone, the day length changes noticeably throughout the year, but without sharp polar phenomena.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. In the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
The daytime interval in Kaliningrad today is 15 часов 33 минуты — from sunrise at 04:57 to Maghrib at 20:30. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
The night interval in Kaliningrad begins after Maghrib at 20:30 and lasts until Fajr at 02:42. Its duration is 6 часов 12 минут. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In the summer season in Kaliningrad the evening prayer begins later, while the night interval shortens.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Kaliningrad: Fajr — 02:42, Maghrib — 20:30 and Isha — 22:37. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.

Questions about prayer times in Kaliningrad
The prayer schedule directly depends on three factors: geographic latitude, longitude and the time zone. The sun rises and sets at its own time at every point on the globe, so the moments of Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha inevitably differ even between closely located localities. The greater the difference in latitude, the more noticeable the difference in the morning and evening prayer times. This is precisely why the schedule is drawn up to match the coordinates of each city.
Prayer times in Kaliningrad are updated daily. This is related to the constant shifting of the sunrise and sunset moments following the Earth's orbit around the sun. The changes are especially noticeable during the transitional seasons — spring and autumn — when the day length changes fastest, sometimes by several minutes per day. For the schedule to remain accurate, it should be checked daily, not once a week.
Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (02:42) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:30) indicates the moment of iftar — the fast is broken precisely at sunset. Nevertheless, during the blessed month of Ramadan we advise checking the current values daily, since a difference of just a few minutes can be important while fasting.
It is not recommended. The prayer schedule is sensitive to geography: even a difference of tens of kilometres leads to a discrepancy in the Fajr, Maghrib and Isha times. The sun rises and sets at its own moment above each locality, so the data of a neighbouring city is only approximate. To perform the prayer on time, it is advisable to use the schedule calculated for Kaliningrad according to its coordinates specifically, not the nearest centre's.
