I think I got it :) It also said that in the comments of the web.xml - 
file, as to never change it unless the servlet-container is buggy (which 
I suppose Tomcat 5.0.28 is not), but I thought I might give it a shot. 
But since that didn't help I changed it back to the original setting

OK, so I belive I got something wrong. These characters that I thought 
to be Unicode-Characters are rather XML-Interpretations?
There are often Chars like &#8221; in the feeds. Since these aren't 
translated properly and they are not part of Latin-1 I thought they must 
be UTF-8, which they obviously aren't, or are they?

see above :) you're more than probably right

This is the relevant part of my sitemap:
<map:match pattern="live.rss">
             <map:generate type="file" src="{request-param:feed}" 
label="content" />
             <map:transform type="xslt" src="styles/rss2html.xsl">
                 <map:parameter name="fullscreen" 
value="{coplet:aspectDatas/fullScreen}"/>
             </map:transform>
             <map:serialize type="xml"/>
         </map:match>

So my next thought was that it is the XSL that is messing up the RSS.
So I edited the XSL and added this line after the <xsl:stylesheet>

<xsl:output method="html" encoding="ISO-8859-1"/>

but it didn't help either. Maybe someone would like to take a look at 
the xsl I attached to see whether there is something wrong with it?

done.

and thanks a lot for your effort, everybody. I really appreciate that :)

best regards,

christian
