Hi,

I see you have a .de e-mail address.

Did you get your longitude/latitude information from google-maps? The sign
convention for longitude is opposite between google (east is > 0) and remind
(east is < 0). That leads to these funny shifts as we are just about far
enough from Greenwich to make the sign error look like a one hour offset.

I hope that helps,

Christoph
