Thank you for your suggestions. This reminded me of an ntpdate option: 
ntpdate can be configured to change the time not in a big step on 
startup by using the option

-B
  Force the time to always be slewed using the adjtime() system call, 
even if the measured offset is greater than +-128 ms...

I try if this will help. (I just do not understand if ntpdate keeps 
changing the time until it is correct or if it only is changing it a bit 
each time it is executed.)
