The first signs that these could still disperse or at least show gaps came shortly after 8 a.m. from the direction of Saarbr\u00fccken Airport. From there, a break in the clouds was reported at 2200 feet (667 m) and a break in the clouds at 2600 feet (788 m). A short time later, the first gaps appeared, which continued to increase over the course of the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-bba5b4ec59c554e3f20dfd25b7ebe2e6 wp-block-paragraph\">At 11:18 the moon slowly moved in front of the sun, the maximum with an eclipse of approx. 18% was reached at 12:08.

Over the course of the day, we welcomed around 70 interested visitors - including, fortunately, many children.
