A tz would only be used if the preceding vowel is short, and hence use of Zion in 19th century German [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_criticism Biblical criticism] works. This orthography was adopted because in German the correct transliteration can only be rendered from the one instance of HaTzion in Kings II 23:17, where the a vowel is followed by a double consonant tz.
