At the time Pound and Rebka conducted their experiment, it was not yet
understood that gravitational time dilation is a feature of EVERY
theory of gravitation that respects the equivalence principle. This
includes Newtonian gravitation.

Although you reject GR, gravitational redshift/blueshift is at this

of accumulated data have proven that standard clocks in Boulder, CO
tick at a different rate than the USNO clocks.

Do you reject the Pound-Rebka through Pound-Snider series of
experiments as verifying a fundamental prediction of ***Newtonian***
gravitation? Do you believe that Gravity Probe A is a fraud? Do you
believe that the people who maintain UTC as a weighted average of
hundreds of standards clocks around the world are lying when they
apply corrections for gravitational time dilation to the clock
readings, when these corrections can be understood as a consequence
of ***Newtonian*** gravitation?

People working here, in Germany, want to correct TAI/UTC worldwide,

 Huh? What do you mean: 'want to correct'?
TAI has been computed, -taking gravitational frequency shift into
account-, for about 50 years by now.
That's why TAI is defined: -on the rotating geoid-,
and -at mean sea level-.
And of course legal time in Germany is based on TAI,
what else could it possibly be based on?
