problem here is that even with "dpkg-reconfigure tzdata" and the correct timezone (rome) the hour is one h behind.

Well, yes, perhaps. But nowadays most of the searches will give you the "timedateclt" solution.
And I find it quite interesting to finally "kinda by accident" found out how it is done internally.

Also: I was wondering what requires less typing ;-)

Btw: I must have messed up this while installing. (wonder where I missed the "Europe" path in installation.

You should probably use the provided abstraction instead:

# dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

This isn't Arch

I messed up my timezone.
But I'm not totally sure how to fix it.
Is it "just" to set the correct link here:
ls -l /etc/localtime

EDIT:
Yes it is. Use

ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Central /etc/localtime

Example to set it to US Central "on the fly"
