I am sorry. I am relatively new to all this. Please be patient... "the timestamp in the title" referred to the LaTeX title. I did not set a timestamp via #+DATE: %d %B %Y, because I thought org would take care of that, as it does often. I read some more in the manual and understood that #+LANGUAGE:  de is only used for HTML export.

I thought #+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage[ngerman]{babel} would result in a german style \today macro in the corresponding LaTeX file.

I should have experimented more, i.e. read the LaTeX export file for hints, then I would have seen that the default #+DATE: option is indeed %d %B %Y, which gets expanded to 14 February 2011 and inserted literally into the LaTeX \date macro, since I use an english locale.

I now use #+DATE: \today and it works as expected.

Sorry for the noise, my posts often end up in a kind of self-helping experience, but hints are always appreciated. Thanks Bastien for the push.
