Red Rooster added the comment:
The issue is not that the date is before 1900, the issue are german month
names. That strptime understands them, first set the locale like that:
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_TIME, "de_DE")

New submission from Red Rooster :
This fails, because the date is before 1900:
d = datetime.strptime("28. Februar 1899", '%d. %B %Y')
But the opposite conversion direction works:
d=datetime(1899,2,28)
d.strftime('%d. %B %Y')
prints out "28. Februar 1899" as it should be.
