Unfortunately, the German Wikipedia is not reliable, IMO[1].  Therefore
I refuse to consider it as authoritative in any way.  Skimming the
"Definition" section in the English Wikipedia article you had referred
to[2], I have not been able to find any distinction between "time
zone"/"timezone" and "zone time".

[1] Not too long ago I was involved in a discussion about an article
that would have required correction, but the suggestions have not even
been thoroughly considered, let alone being investigated, but have been
simply rejected.
