Re: German umlauts

Either your database has been created with the wrong characterset or your NLS_LANG setting is incorrect. As you don't specify any details about your database (version, platform, client-platform), it is difficult to help you out.
You could get the 'native' characterset of the database by selecting from sys,props$.
