I am running an iPhone device with timezone set to load automatically from location, and my location is in CET time.

Now when I print the current date, it shows me the time minus one hour, e.g.

// We currently have 17:40 (5:40pm)
print("NOW \(Date())")
// will return:
NOW 2019-01-05 16:40:39 +0000

Why doesn't it display correctly in the devices timezone?

Your code is fine. Look at the output. It's the time in UTC (that's what the +0000 means). – rmaddy Jan 05 '19 at 16:58
