IIRC latin1_de is not a character set in Mysql 4.1.. The character set 
"latin1" contains all western european characters... So you'll be fine with 
those.

You can specify a German-specific sort order by using the collation settings. 
There is a "latin1_german1_ci" collation. (Also a "latin1_german2_ci", which 
works like the German phonebook instead of the dictionary.)

So, you'd want:
CREATE TABLE foo ( blah ... ) CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_german1_ci;
