Brandenburg Gate: facade light in January 2027

Short answer: On 15 January 2027: Sun on the east side (Pariser Platz) 08:20–10:30, most frontal around 08:20; golden light 08:20–09:55. Every day of January is in the table.

The Quadriga drives east, so the classic view from Pariser Platz is lit in the morning. In the afternoon the sun is behind the gate and the Pariser Platz side is backlit; the Tiergarten side is lit instead.
