Line 31 ⟶ 15:
[[Daylight saving time]] was first introduced during [[World War I]] by the [[German Empire]] in the years 1916 to 1918. After the end of the war and the proclamation of the [[Weimar Republic]] in November 1918, daylight saving time ceased to be observed. It was used again 1940–1949 (from 1945 differently in the West and East) and introduced again from 1980. West and East Germany had the same time and DST from 1950 until unification. In 1996, daylight saving time was harmonised throughout the [[European Union]] by Directive 2000/84/EC, which moved the end of DST to the last Sunday in October.
In 1980 the exclave [[Büsingen am Hochrhein|Büsingen]] did not use DST in order to keep to the [[Time in Switzerland|same time as Switzerland]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.srf.ch/player/tv/-/video/schweizer-zeit-in-buesingen?id=c012c029-03b7-4c2b-9164-aa5902cd58d3 |title=Schweizer Zeit in Büsingen |publisher=Schweizer Fernsehen: SF Videoportal |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150108012030/http://www.srf.ch/player/tv/-/video/schweizer-zeit-in-buesingen?id=c012c029-03b7-4c2b-9164-aa5902cd58d3 |archive-date=2015-01-08 }}</ref>
