Thank you, Bernard.

What about your portal of City of Jena, do you use GoogleMercator? Are your
distances measured in the geoportal right?

Hi Martin,

I further looked into this problem. As I indicated before the measure tool
is pure OpenLayers. Read the text underneath the example [1] for further
explanation (the map is somehow not working in the example). 
Obviously QGIS desktop always uses "geodesic measures" whereas QWC never
does. I filed a ticket [2].
BTW the problem comes from the GoogleMercator projection as the Mercator
projection in general is known to only preserve angle while the area and
length errors increase towards the poles.
