As John Clements wrote, srfi-19 will help.  I found conflicts between  
PLT dates and srfi-19 dates, so in my code I've been using an s19:  
prefix, e.g.:

#lang scheme
(require (prefix-in s19: (lib "srfi/19.ss")))
(printf "~a: Alles Gute im neuen Jahr!\n"
         (s19:date->string
          (s19:make-date 0 0 0 0 1 1 2009 (* -5 3600))
          "~d.~m.~Y"))

→ 01.01.2009: Alles Gute im neuen Jahr!
