    Arrive at the Franz-von-Assisi-Kirche in Neuallermöhe. The 40-m-high tower is a stark, modern landmark against the sky. Find a quiet spot on the grounds or the immediate perimeter to set up your view. The tower will frame the western sky beautifully as the day winds down.

    The sun sets toward the SW at 16:30. Golden light begins about an hour earlier, at 15:27, bathing the white facade of the church in a warm glow. Watch the light shift from bright yellow to deep orange as it hits the tower. This is the peak moment for photography and quiet contemplation.

    After the light fades, stay for a few minutes to see the church lights come on if applicable, or simply enjoy the twilight silence in Neuallermöhe. There are no nearby food or drink shops listed in the immediate vicinity, so use this time to reflect on the view before heading back out.
