Explanation:
"In the German university system, lectures scheduled at a certain hour, with or without the addition "c.t." (cum tempore, Latin for "with time"), usually start 15 minutes after the full hour. If this is not the case, usually "s.t." (sine tempore, Latin for "without time") is added to indicate that the lecture will begin at the exact time."

Notes to answerer
Asker: Bedankt voor je suggestie, Frank, maar ik denk niet dat die juist is. Elders in het verhaal komt "4de Ct." voor - het lijkt me niet dat Ct. dan "approximately at" kan betekenen.
