If I press zz in vim, my screen/view will center vertically on the cursor position.
How can I do the same, but horizontally? Is there a vim command for that?

Do you mean moving the cursor to the middle of the current line? – Kusalananda♦ May 6 '20 at 20:50

@Kusalananda i mean moving the view so that the cursor is at the center of the screen, without changing the cursors actual position – isocseles May 6 '20 at 21:09

1How would that work if the current line is empty, for example? – Kusalananda♦ May 6 '20 at 22:19

There's no single Vim command, but you can combine zs with zH: Scroll to position the cursor at the left side of the screen, then scroll half a screenwidth to the right.
I have this mapping in my ~/.vimrc:
" Horizontally center cursor position.
" Does not move the cursor itself (except for 'sidescrolloff' at the window
" border).
nnoremap <silent> z. :<C-u>normal! zszH<CR>
