Hm, this returns a blank line for me. Since I'm happy with my timezone
setting I got curious and checked the Wiki, which suggests timedatectl.
This tool checks the current setting and you're able to change it:
timedatectl status
                Local time: Di 2021-04-13 21:24:06 CEST
            Universal time: Di 2021-04-13 19:24:06 UTC
                  RTC time: Di 2021-04-13 19:24:06
                 Time zone: Europe/Berlin (CEST, +0200)
System clock synchronized: yes
               NTP service: active
           RTC in local TZ: no
