Hii Jhonathan Wolf
Try The Below Code 
<aura:component>
    <!--Declare Attribute-->
    <aura:attribute name="currentDate" type="string"/>
    <aura:attribute name="TommorowDate" type="string"/>
    
    <!--Declare Handlers-->
    <aura:handler name="init" value="{!this}" action="{!c.doInit}"/>
    
    <!--Component Start-->
    <div style='font-size:18px; font-weight:bold;'>
       
           Heute ( {!v.currentDate} )
                                    
    </div>
    <div style='font-size:18px; font-weight:bold;'>
       
           Morgen ( {!v.TommorowDate} )
                                    
    </div>
    <!--Component End-->
</aura:component>

({
    doInit : function(component, event, helper) {
        var today = new Date();
        var date = today.getDate();
        var tommorowdate = today.getDate()+1;
        var month = today.getMonth()+1;
        var year = today.getFullYear();
        var result = date +'/'+month;
        var result2 = tommorowdate +'/'+month;
        component.set('v.currentDate', result);
        component.set('v.TommorowDate', result2);
    }
})

Hi , thank you for your help, could you just help me with the issues I have with it.
I would like to have the date just 13.4 instead of 13/4/2021 , means in other form and without the year. In addition, could you tell me how to make the same for tomorrows date and the day after tomorrow?

Thank you for your great help
Greetings

Hi, will the code also work on the last day of the month? I am afraid that in the tomorrow component it will show 1.4.21 instead of 1.5.21 . Will it work?

Hii Jhonathan Wolf 
var aftertommorowdate= today.getDate()+2
Yes It Will Work
