He,

the file languages/LanguageDe.php is ok.

I just changed the following:
$wgLocalInterwiki = $wgSitename;

$wgLanguageCode = "de";
$wgUseLatin1 = false;

$wgProxyKey =
"862891371be901f74c33f4738ee96fa1db5b1555e58c54b1868a4d531adb87";

Here there are the details of my PHP config:
PHP 4 http://server9.hostpoint.ch/~testhost/phpinfo.php
PHP 5 http://server9.hostpoint.ch/~testhost/php5/phpinfo.php

As further information, I can confirm you, taht when i run the same
Mediawiki on my local System on Mac 10.3.6, the problem doesen't
exists. As soon as I move Mediawiki to my Hostprovider, the problems
comes up. Even with the original downloaded MediaWiki folder.

I suppose that the problem is caused by my provider. Could it be?

Aha, now we have a hint at last of the problem!

LanguageDe.php has been corrupted during the transfer from the Mac to
your hosting provider. Something is applying a "conversion" from the
MacRoman encoding to ISO 8859-1, which irreversibly corrupts the UTF-8
text.

(I'm not sure what horrendously wrong program you're using to transfer
files; I've never had such problems with my Mac.)

If you're using some sort of FTP program, try uploading the files in
"binary" mode instead of "ascii" or "text".
