Update: If I use in my controller: #encoding: CP850 or #encoding: iso-8859-1 then the error message didn't appear, but the special character ü is replaced by a question mark.
Looks like this: M�sli I thought utf-8 is able to handle german special characters. It took me the whole day and I still didn't come to a solution. I really hope that someone can help me.
