 Why don't you just create /etc/timezone with Europe/Berlin as content?

Huh? I always thought the proper place was the TIMEZONE variable
in /etc/conf.d/clock:

TIMEZONE=Europe/Berlin

It was he proper place in pre baselayout-2 and openrc times! Now the
proper place for gentoo is /etc/timezone!

So do we keep TIMEZONE in conf.d/clock or delete it?

There is no /etc/conf.d/clock anymore in openrc/baselayout 2.0.

The openrc file is called /etc/conf.d/hwclock, and there's no TIMEZONE 
variable in that file.

Ah, oops, I'm on stable.  Baselayout 2 is ~amd64.

 Thanks, but it doesn't work here. I must be doing something wrong.
 
 Now,
 I have deleted /etc/localtime
 /etc/conf.d/hwclock contains
 clock=local
 (which is recommended for a dual boot system with Windows)
 
 For /etc/timezone
 I have tried both
 Europe/Berlin
 
 and alternatively
 Europe/Berlin
 
 In both cases I get GMT instead of my local time here.
 

try:

# echo Eurpoe/Berlin /etc/timezone
# emerge --config sys-libs/timezone-data

NB: this will only need to be done this once, after that, an update of
sys-libs/timezone-data will automatically update /etc/localtime
