Best overlap: 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM in Berlin is 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM in Addis Ababa.
Keep meetings inside 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM in Berlin — that maps to 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM in Addis Ababa. Because you share 9 hours of the workday, there's no need to compromise; book the time that suits the meeting, not the map. These times hold for most of the year, but Berlin's daylight saving (which Addis Ababa doesn't use) shifts them by an hour twice annually.
