Darkness arrives earliest on December 12 at 4:33 PM and latest on June 23 at 10:23 PM, a swing of 5 h 50 min across the year.
The longest day brings 16 h 50 min of daylight and the shortest just 7 h 39 min. The earliest dusk comes about 9 days away from the shortest day, because Earth's oval orbit shifts solar noon through the year.
After sunset, twilight lasts about 34 min at the March equinox and stretches to 50 min in midsummer. Near the equator it is only about 21 min year-round.
In Berlin, on 117 evenings it stays light until after 9 pm, while on 117 days it is dark before 6 pm.
Berlin sits close to the middle of its time zone, so the sun is highest within 4 min of noon on standard time.
