ntpd gets the information about what servers it will synch your clock
to out of /etc/ntp.conf, so in your case, just create the
/etc/ntp.conf file containing minimally:
server ntp1.t-online.de
and then run:
# ntpd -g -q
Check out http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/ for all things NTP
related.
Cheers,
