Hi Chirag, thank you for the links. I will read them and look if there is something that can help me.
I found out that the main problem was that my gvim editor saved every *.rb file not in utf-8 encoding. I just edited them with notepad and saved them explicitly in utf-8 and then the german special characters worked in my controllers. There is still the problem with the CSV class, which I need to import a csv file. This class is not able to read the special characters. I found the documentation here: http://www.ruby-doc.org/ruby-1.9/classes/CSV.html#M001340 there is something about encodings, but I don't understand how to use it!!!
