Best overlap: 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Brisbane is 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM in Hamburg.
The sweet spot is 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM Brisbane time, matching 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM in Hamburg. The window is short at 1 hour, so keep meetings tight and anchored to 5:00 PM in Brisbane (8:00 AM in Hamburg). Heads up: because Hamburg changes its clocks and Brisbane doesn't, the difference moves by an hour twice a year. Confirm the overlap around the DST switch.
