I could answer the question. But  i do not point why it functioned.
Normally, this is the way to capture text from a TextWidget.
(I type äöüäöü in the TextWidget)

text = self.c.get(1.0,END)
print text

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "e:\python20\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 1287, in __call__
    return apply(self.func, args)
  File "I:\EXAMPLE\ascii.py", line 16, in druck
    print text
UnicodeError: ASCII encoding error: ordinal not in range(128)

This way functioned:
text = string.join(map(chr,map(ord,self.c.get(1.0,END))),'')
print text
äöüäöü

What happens here exactly?
