.withLocale(Locale.GERMANY).withZone(ZoneOffset.UTC);

Instant instant = Instant.now();

String formattedStr = formatter.format( instant );

package com.sample.app;

import java.time.Instant;
import java.time.ZoneOffset;
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;
import java.time.format.FormatStyle;
import java.util.Locale;

public class App {

 public static void main(String args[]) {
  DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofLocalizedDateTime(FormatStyle.LONG).withLocale(Locale.GERMANY)
    .withZone(ZoneOffset.UTC);
  
  Instant instant = Instant.now();
  String formattedStr = formatter.format( instant );

  System.out.println("formatter : " + formatter);
  System.out.println("instant : " + instant);
  System.out.println("formattedStr : " + formattedStr);
 }
}
