So the question, from the tz point of view, is: what is the center of Berlin? If it's in east Berlin the tz database uses the rules appropriate for that location. Currently the database simply accepts Shank & Pottenger's definition for the center of Berlin (as being in east Germany) but if that's incorrect then we can fix it.
Does the TZ database's "every country gets its one zone" rule post-date German Reunification? Otherwise, I'd have thought there would have been separate zones for West Germany (Europe/Frankfurt?) and East Germany. -- Jonathan Lennox lennox at cs dot columbia dot edu
