Line 8:
Germany has been politically divided into [[East Germany]] and [[West Germany]] even after the start of the unix epoch, which is the date from which the tz database wants to record correct information. The database aims to include at least one zone for every [[ISO 3166-1]] alpha-2 country code. This list was first issued in 1997, after the reunification of Germany in 1990. Hence only the unified Germany is listed.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.time.tz/2074/match=east+germany |title=Re: FW: FW: Corrections to historic German timezone information |first=Jonathan |last=Lennox |publisher=gmane.comp.time.tz |date=2008-02-11}}</ref>

Data for Germany directly from [[List of tz database time zones|zone.tab]] of the [[tz database|IANA time zone database]]. Columns marked with * are the columns from zone.tab itself.
