That's why I am asking "how to get the numerical offset printed in the
log files". Logstash can parse the numerical value. Otherwise I will
always have a parsing error in Logstash. We could live with this but
if it is possible I'd like to change this on the Postgres level. But I
never thought that this is much more complicated than expected.

As far as I understand the log_timezone configuration option, it will
always print me the name if I use a name for the time zone. And that
is the no go for Logstash. So I really need a numerical value to parse
it with Logstash.
