Hi Andreas, Marco and others

Thanks a lot for your advice. I have found the solution. The problem was, that 
the shape-files had a UTF-8 encoding, but in the *.qgs the encoding was set to 
"System". Obviously, the "System-encoding" was not UTF-8 (surprise). So I had 
to change "<provider encoding="System" >ogr</provider>" to "<provider 
encoding="UTF-8" >ogr</provider>". Now it works fine.

Thanks a lot and best regards,
Martin
