This is localtime. The wiki internally represents time in UTC.

Did you set your UTC time offset (+02:00) in your UserPreferences correctly?

If there is still the default (+00:00), the wiki shows UTC time and that 
currently is 2h less than CEST.

If you didn't log in, but use the wiki anonymously, the wiki cannot know 
from which timezone you are accessing it (you could be anywhere on this 
planet - or even in space ;) ). In that case, it will simply show UTC.

BTW: if we switch back to winter time later this year, you will have to 
manually correct your UserPreferences time offset to +01:00.
