Thanks for your reply Jawfin! So there’s a chance that every used date in the application is set in a config file? I ‘yes’, I must admit that I have no idea where it should be set. Here’s my app.php with defaultLocale set:
<?php
use Cake\Cache\Engine\FileEngine;
use Cake\Database\Connection;
use Cake\Database\Driver\Mysql;
use Cake\Error\ExceptionRenderer;
use Cake\Log\Engine\FileLog;
use Cake\Mailer\Transport\MailTransport;
return [

/*
* Configure basic information about the application.
*
* - namespace - The namespace to find app classes under.
* - defaultLocale - The default locale for translation, formatting currencies and numbers, date and time.
* - encoding - The encoding used for HTML + database connections.
* - base - The base directory the app resides in. If false this
* will be auto detected.
* - dir - Name of app directory.
* - webroot - The webroot directory.
* - wwwRoot - The file path to webroot.
* - baseUrl - To configure CakePHP to *not* use mod_rewrite and to
* use CakePHP pretty URLs, remove these .htaccess
* files:
* /.htaccess
* /webroot/.htaccess
* And uncomment the baseUrl key below.
* - fullBaseUrl - A base URL to use for absolute links. When set to false (default)
* CakePHP generates required value based on `HTTP_HOST` environment variable.
* However, you can define it manually to optimize performance or if you
* are concerned about people manipulating the `Host` header.
* - imageBaseUrl - Web path to the public images directory under webroot.
* - cssBaseUrl - Web path to the public css directory under webroot.
* - jsBaseUrl - Web path to the public js directory under webroot.
* - paths - Configure paths for non class based resources. Supports the
* `plugins`, `templates`, `locales` subkeys, which allow the definition of
* paths for plugins, view templates and locale files respectively.

*
* - `cookie` - The name of the cookie to use. Defaults to value set for `session.name` php.ini config.
* Avoid using `.` in cookie names, as PHP will drop sessions from cookies with `.` in the name.
* - `cookiePath` - The url path for which session cookie is set. Maps to the
* `session.cookie_path` php.ini config. Defaults to base path of app.
* - `timeout` - The time in minutes the session should be valid for.
* Pass 0 to disable checking timeout.
* Please note that php.ini's session.gc_maxlifetime must be equal to or greater
* than the largest Session['timeout'] in all served websites for it to have the
* desired effect.
* - `defaults` - The default configuration set to use as a basis for your session.
* There are four built-in options: php, cake, cache, database.
* - `handler` - Can be used to enable a custom session handler. Expects an
* array with at least the `engine` key, being the name of the Session engine
* class to use for managing the session. CakePHP bundles the `CacheSession`
* and `DatabaseSession` engines.
* - `ini` - An associative array of additional ini values to set.
*
* The built-in `defaults` options are:
*
* - 'php' - Uses settings defined in your php.ini.
* - 'cake' - Saves session files in CakePHP's /tmp directory.
* - 'database' - Uses CakePHP's database sessions.
* - 'cache' - Use the Cache class to save sessions.
*
* To define a custom session handler, save it at src/Network/Session/<name>.php.
* Make sure the class implements PHP's `SessionHandlerInterface` and set
* Session.handler to <name>
*
* To use database sessions, load the SQL file located at config/schema/sessions.sql

Or 1: should there something be set in config/bootstrap.php?
Or 2: should I convert every datetime to another format in the model?
