Well, Germany is in the CET timezone. Calendar events sent out by
Exchange insist on calling the Germany timezone pretty much anything but
CET. So far, I have seen Romance, Western Europe Time (which Wikipedia
says is wholly different timezone), and now this...
The timezone-make-date-arpa-standard function will handle all of the
above except your case :( Because of the GMT in the timezone name, the
timestamps in your calendar are parsed as GMT, thus the time shift of 1
hour.
My idea of solving this would be introducing customizable variable
containing mappings from any non-standard TZ identifier to a generally
recognized TZ name.
