Almost certainly CeST for Böblingen.
For some reason I do not really understand, the timezone fields in CP are 4
chars long, only at a few places, the maximum timezone name is limited to 3.
Strange if you consider that most official timezone names are 3 or 4 long.
A similar odd restriction is in the maximum timezone offset, local time in
Kiribati is hard to configure in VM, East 14:00 and officially
called LINT.  Though there are probably not that many z's installed there.
