==IANA time zone database==
The [[IANA time zone database]] contains two zones for Germany, "[[Europe/Berlin]]" and "[[Europe/Busingen]]", although in 1945, the [[Trizone]] did not follow [[Berlin]]'s switch to midsummer time.{{Citation needed|date=April 2010}}
 
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>
