This hint and some further poking got me on the right track. I used pytz to add a timezone to my dates. Vobject obviously did not use the information, because the tzinfo-objects generated by pytz are not compatible for most timezones.

So i went ahead and switched to dateutil for tzinfo-generation, which vobject is also using and everything works like advertised.

I appreciated your help. Thank you very much.
