As mentioned in my original post, ntpd did not help. It works now. The 
correct startup procedure, with an initial synchronization, is a little 
more involved:

I do not know whether this is the case for all distribution, but my ntpd
started with the '-g' option. While that is OK to get the time
adjustment parameters in the ball park initially, it should be replaced
with another option more suitable for the long run.
