In what year did Germany start Daylight Saving Time?

Answer 1

Germany first implemented Daylight Saving Time during World War I in 1916 as a means to conserve energy during the war effort. However, it was not consistently observed in the following years. Daylight Saving Time was reintroduced in Germany in 1940 during World War II and has been in use intermittently since then, with the current practice being regulated by the European Union.

Daylight savings time was first observed in Germany during World War I. It began on the last Sunday of April 1916 11:00 PM central European Time. The clocks were set back on the first Sunday in October at 1:00 AM Central European Savings Time.
In 1917 and 1918 the rules were slightly different occurring at 2:00 and 3:00 AM on the third Mondays of April and September respectively. The practice was discontinued until WWII when it was reestablished. [de.wikibedia.org]
