Get the current german time in JavaScript

Question

I would like to get the currently german time in JavaScript. Normally its GMT+1 but german time consists of the winter time and the summer time. In the summer time we are 1 hour ahead.

var now = new Date();
var hour = now.getUTCHours() + 1; // it works, but not by the summer-time

If using a library is feasible then you should look into [Moment.js](http://momentjs.com/). — rink.attendant.6, Sep 10 '14 at 14:30
IT seems like the way you need to do this is to find a source or a formula that establishes the date that summer starts and ends. — ControlAltDel, Sep 10 '14 at 14:32

I always recommend using great library for date and time, which is Moment.js. You can achieve required functionality pretty easy. Check this SO thread out for more details: Moment.js - How To Detect Daylight Savings Time And Add One Day
