That is then the absolute optimum.
Summer solstice is after all just one day.

That is true, nevertheless I myself have sunset at 8:34 PM and last light at 9:12 PM two months later on August 21st. Logically the same applies two months earlier, on April 21st.

That means, in the end, I have at least 4 consecutive months where it only really gets dark after 9 PM. The same would apply at 8 PM for permanent standard time, which I wouldn’t find terribly dramatic.

I currently notice extremely how much the missing light is taking a toll on me again.

I also prefer more light rather than less, that is unquestionable. Only that the net amount of daylight in winter does not change due to the time shift.

What arguments (other than that it would simply be the "normal" time) speak in favor of permanent standard time?

From my point of view, the construct of summer and winter time can gladly remain as it is; I have no problem switching twice a year. I even find it somewhat sensible to adapt to changed lighting conditions (even if the original energy-saving argument probably no longer applies).

What speaks clearly against permanent summer time for me is that it would then be extremely late in the morning before it becomes light in winter. Given the common work and school start times between 7 and 8 in the morning, I would find that inappropriate.

and this is what the grey-white uniform building wasteland looks like in DE so is that what the municipality wants? Like GDR prefabricated buildings but only on 2 levels, no one dares a different house color just as a comparison from the picture I posted earlier

So in our development area everything is represented. City villas, awkward architect-designed houses, classic detached houses, Frisian gables, dormer gables, brickwork, plaster, etc. None of the plots have a rectangular shape either. There are corners, edges, and curves. I don't know who came up with this, the house placements required a bit more thought from everyone but the result is cozy.

That reminds me, when people from different nations come together = wonderful!!!

Let's continue... unfortunately not yet with such great photos of a shell construction, just a bit of earthworks. The cellar pit has now been excavated. Currently, the gravel bed for the base slab is being laid.

After 42 days, the shell of the 3 floors is standing. The roof will come next week and the windows in December. The ground floor has already been shuttered.

When did you order the windows and which manufacturer is it? I am experiencing significant delivery delays with my Schüco windows.
