At the moment I want to center two lines like this:
\centerline{\Huge\bf{The Title}}
\centerline{\tiny{Version of 2022-11-11}}

In this case it is not really a problem, but is it possible to center
a series of lines?

\Huge\bf{The Title}

\tiny{Version of 2022-11-11}
\end{center}

That works. Thanks.

Be aware that \bf is obsolete and is unscoped (does not take an
argument). Its effect (bold) lasts until the end of the current group,
so your Version line will also be bold. \Huge and \tiny similarly are
unscoped so \tiny does not take an argument. A more accurate use would be:

\begin{center}
\Huge
\textbf{The Title}

\tiny
Version of 2022-11-11
\end{center}

The difference between scoped and unscoped commands is shown in more
detail in

You are right. I did not see that.
Changed.
