You should also change the system locale. Please check /etc/enviroment and /etc/default/locale and run 'dpkg-reconfigure locales' if necessary. > Errormessages and texts are displayed in a weired way: The ls-command > called with an illegal option says: "UngA.ltige Option" with the dot > being a 1/4-sign.

So the programs output UTF-8, but your terminal is not ready for that. Try to run 'unicode_start' and see if that helps. The reason you need to set up a UTF-8 system locale is that console-tools' init script checks for it and puts the terminal in Unicode or ASCII mode depending on the value.
