Understanding the +0h Gap: Netherlands vs Berlin
Netherlands runs on Central European Summer Time (CEST) at UTC+02:00, currently observing daylight saving time. Berlin runs on Central European Summer Time (CEST) at UTC+02:00, also currently on daylight saving time. That puts Netherlands no time difference Berlin — a difference of +0h at the current offsets.
In practice, when it is 9:00 AM in Netherlands it is 9:00 AM in Berlin. Midnight in Netherlands is 12:00 AM in Berlin. Because both zones shift for daylight saving, the gap between them only changes during the few weeks each year when their transition dates differ.
