It is important to note however, "German Summer Time" is a bit of a misnomer.  No one has experienced anything that could be considered "Summer" during this period.  The climate is not unlike San Francisco, of which Mark Twain said:  "The coldest winter I ever saw was the summer I spent in San Francisco".

*chuckles* Yeah, you could be right with that. One should stick to the usual "daylight saving", at least that doesn't lie about the temperature.^^

In germany it's called "Winter und Sommerzeit" which would translate to winter and summertime.
Daylight saving time would be translated to "Tageslichtsparzeit" the other way round.
That would be as funny in german as summertime in english. :P

Actually, the word 'summertime' is used in this context as well. For example the current time zone in Britain is called BST - British Summer Time, and in Europe it is Central European Summer Time.
