Armin,

I have tried a similar load command with the file you reference with good
success. In particular the command I used was:

  ogr2ogr -update PG:dbname=nas -a_srs EPSG:25832 
32370000_5590000_32380000_5600000.xml

The result appears to be a full set of populated layers, reported by ogrinfo
as:

INFO: Open of `PG:dbname=nas'
       using driver `PostgreSQL' successful.

Of the above, only those with no geometry type in brackets are declared
as "GEOMETRY" in the GEOMETRY_COLUMNS table and this is because they
contain a mix of geometry types or no geometries at all.  Hmm, on
examination all the ones I looked at have no geometries and were
represented in the original NAS file as "None" geometry type.  It
might be nice to preserve this interpretation in Postgis - a failing
of the OGR PostGIS driver.

I'm not sure why you had problems, though you might try using
-update instead of -f PostgreSQL to indicate loading into an
existing database (making sure it is clean to start).

Sorry to not respond in German, but all my knowledge of German is
built on translate.google.com.  :-)
