As it was lined out by others I was printing to a linux terminal which 
had the encoding set to UTF-8.
Therefore and for further processing of the data I had to open it with 
the right encoding.

This piece of code did the trick. After a short adaption I had exactly 
what I wanted to achive.


Thanks you for your help.
