I think you should read a python-tutorial. The above code looks as if 
you believe that

class Foo:
    name = value

    def __init__(self):
        name = other_value

will create a class Foo, which then has instances with the property 
"name", and that this is bound to other_value. Python isn't doing that.


name in the above example (and e.g. abschnitte in yours) are 
class-attributes. That means that ALL instances of Foo share that name!!!

What you have to do is this:

class Foo:
    def __init__(self, other_value):
       self.name = other_value


please note the self in front of name!



Or, within your example:

class AusgangsDatenDeichMonitor:

     def __init__(self):
         self.abschnitte=[]
         print "Abschnitt in DatenTypen: "+str(abschnitte) #1


There are a great many tutorials for python + OO out there - go read one 
(or several).
