I do have a better solution ;)
<dtml-with ZopeTime>
<dtml-var %d.%m.%Y>
</dtml-with>

Catches:
-) the strftime is applied to UTC.
-) Trying accessing the attribute differently, produces Permission bugs.
   So for example <dtml-var "_.getattr(ZopeTime,'%d.%m.%Y')()">
   produces:
    Error Type: AttributeError
    Error Value: PrincipiaTime%d.%m.%Y
