Using Dellingen coordinates from GSOC site (48.567N 10.483E) and SkyMap, I get totality center at 10:37:04 UT, with Moon 2 arc seconds N of the Sun, corresponding to 3 km. Neighbouring locations are found in: http://www2.gsoc.dlr.de/scripts/satvis/Neighbours.asp?PlaceID=11923 The size difference, 55.8", and relative RA motion 6.26s (92,6"along the ecliptic) in 244 s would make the (maximum) duration 147 seconds (?)
