Thanks,

I solved it at the moment by writing a small php script and the 
following typoscript:

Typoscript:
30 = USER
30 {
    userFunc=user_parsedate->main
    wrap1=<div class="myNiceDate">
    wrap2=</div>
  }

PHP script:
class user_parsedate {
var $cObj;
function main($content,$conf){
	$birthdate = $GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user->user['date_of_birth'];
	$nicedate = strftime("%e %B %G", (int)$birthdate);
	$content = $conf['wrap1'].$nicedate.$conf['wrap2'];
	return $content;
	}
}

Best regards,

Bart
