[Solved] Importing old websites: Why are ä, ü, ö are not shown properly?

At the moment I use Openoffice-Writer.

OMG This isn`t a code editor at all. Look for Netbeans (like Bobray suggested) or some simpler editors like notepad++.

You are right, but I needed a tool to clear the old html-files by deleting unwanted parts automatically. For this I used the macro-function of Openoffice. Unfortunately I have no access to stuff like Matlab to manage this work in a better way.

Maybe you have an idea what tool is best for a batch-job like this?

I did this once by first cleaning up the HTML-files with batch processing the files on command line through the tidy-parser and then by filtering the content via PHP-script which also put it in the database. But this is custom work and was only worth it because of > 9.000 documents. I think you are faster by doing it your way (perhaps first extract the content via your OpenOffice-solution and then convrt it to utf-8 with another tool.

It finally worked. My "tests" showed that it was necessary to use both a "good" editor and starting a new installation process using utf-8 for all database. Doing only one of both it didn´t work...

Thanks for all hints and answers!!!
