In almost every ubuntu flavor you can display the date next to the time, but some far I have not been able to find this option. I could click on the calendar and view the date, but it just bugs me that I can't just look at it. I feel like it is something on every device I have or have had.
I imagine when I right-click the time, there should be a checkbox where I can add/remove the date from that.
If you want to change the time format to German , you must install the German language from the Language Support and then set the "Regional Settings" in German
If you want to change the format in Date and Time , you must install dconf-tool . From terminal do
sudo apt-get install dconf-tools
Find it through Dash by writing dconf open it and goto Com > Canonical > Indicator > Datetime and from there you can change the format.
Logout and Login for changes to take effect.
The default format is %l:%M %p , you will change it to %M:%l %p
You can set the hardware clock with the command (for example)

You then need to syncronise the system clock to the hardware clock:
sudo hwclock -s
Reference: $ man hwclock
