maybe the wpa_passphrase utility could help you to create the config.
In this particular case:
$ wpa_passphrase "Naturhotel Wieserhof" "N@tur%Wieser"
network={
ssid="Naturhotel Wieserhof"
#psk="N@tur%Wieser"
psk=b853709a9edcd50edf0835f68bf099255cb32fc462e492117fe3c42ab2a387cb
}
,or you might want to try wpa_gui.
Cheers,
