I don't think it has something to do with German letters.
I saved the following text in a file 'sweavy.Snw':
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
Hello World!
<<>>=
1+1
@
<<>>=
Oberflächenfehler = c(4, 11, 6, 2, 7, 9)
@
\end{document}
This is what happened in R:
> library(utils)
> Sweave("sweavy.Snw")
Writing to file sweavy.tex
Processing code chunks ...
1 : echo term verbatim
2 : echo term verbatim
You can now run LaTeX on 'sweavy.tex'

R version 2.7.0 (2008-04-22)
i386-pc-mingw32
locale:
LC_COLLATE=English_United States.1252;LC_CTYPE=English_United
States.1252;LC_MONETARY=English_United
States.1252;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=English_United States.1252
attached base packages:
[1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base
And also the dvi looked fine after processing "latex sweavy.tex"
To make things sure, I did in my editor (GNU Emacs 22.1.50.1)
C-x RET f utf-8
to change
set-buffer-file-coding-system to utf-8.
Still works fine.
Maybe this helps you further to track down the reason for the problem?!?
Best,
Roland
