Anke,

I believe the problem is due to limitations of the GML reader in OGR that
MapServer uses for reading GML responses from other WFS servers.  It
takes an adhoc approach to parsing GML that is dependent on finding
certain key element names to identify what are features.  So you can
alter your request then to "what do I need to do to get OGR's GML reader
to work with WFS servers like Deegree".   If you can provide me samples
by direct email I could look into whether something can be done easily.

Best regards,
