Daylight saving issue with MagentaTV

I'm located in Germany and using WebGrab+Plus version V3.1.5.0 and "web.magentatv.de" as source for most programs. Last night we have switched from CET to CEST, but EPG is trash. Unusable for today. WG+ has run right now, but still issues in timestamps. Most programmes still show CET (+0100) instead of +0200.
Following examples are all wrong:

1)
<programme start="20210328011500 +0100" stop="20210328034800 +0100" channel="Das Erste HD - MagentaTV">
<title lang="de">Allmen und das Geheimnis der Erotik</title>

2)
<programme start="20210328011500 +0100" stop="20210328034800 +0100" channel="Das Erste HD - MagentaTV">
<title lang="de">Allmen und das Geheimnis der Erotik</title>

3)
<programme start="20210328034800 +0100" stop="20210328035000 +0100" channel="Das Erste HD - MagentaTV">
<title lang="de">Tagesschau</title>

4)
<programme start="20210328001500 +0200" stop="20210328002000 +0200" channel="ZDF HD - MagentaTV">
<title lang="de">heute Xpress</title>

5)
<programme start="20210328002000 +0200" stop="20210328005000 +0200" channel="ZDF HD - MagentaTV">
<title lang="de">heute-show</title>

6)
<programme start="20210328005000 +0100" stop="20210328031000 +0200" channel="ZDF HD - MagentaTV">
<title lang="de">The Boy Next Door</title>

Thanks for reply.
No, that would be completely wrong. When doing this, all timezones in guide.xml become "+0000". This means, in local timezone CEST the EPG is shifted by 2 hours. So "Europe/Berlin" is the correct timezone.

Switch from CET to CEST was yesterday. Most programms return "+0200" now, but there are still some programms returning "+0100" between midnight an 2:00am. Still not satisfying.

did you try to delete your guide or use F mode?

Last run changed all timestamps to +0200 now, so not reproducable anymore. I've changed mode to "f" now and will see if there are any issues in autumn when changing back to CET. Thanks.
