  • What does `setlocale` return? Do other PHP scripts run on the same server that might call `setlocale` as well? The locale is per-process, not per-thread, so it's possible that another script changes the locale between your call to `setlocale` and `strftime`. – Max Vollmer Dec 18 '19 at 10:47
  • You might also run on a server that doesn't have the German locale, or the user your script runs under doesn't have permission to change the locale. You should investigate these things and then update your question with more info. – Max Vollmer Dec 18 '19 at 10:52

I created a PHP extension for DateTime API called dt. You can find it here

Using it is very easy:

echo dt::create("2019-12-22 19:45","Europe/Berlin")->formatL('d. F Y, H:i','de');

I would recommend reading more about DateTime Formats https://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.format.php Your solution: 

setlocale(LC_TIME, 'de_DE', 'de_DE.UTF-8');
$time = date_create_from_format('U'; , '2019-12-22 19:45', new DateTimeZone('Europe/Berlin')); 

echo strftime(' %d. %B %Y', $time->getTimestamp());
