That's the weird thing, the output of env | egrep 'LC_|LANG' reads:

LANGUAGE=en_US.ISO8859-1
LANG=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_ALL=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_MESSAGES=en_US.ISO8859-1

but that can't be right, since I get a slash when pressing  shift-7 and 
the german ß works as well.
Almost all keys work as they are supposed to with a german keymap , I 
only can' t get" ä ö ü @ " (pasted).
