In addition to that: in my browser, I see special characters
displayed differently in hamburg.htm and in test.htm:

    hamburg.htm: "Hamburg f|r Gehvrlose"
    test.htm: "Hamburg fC<r GehC6rlose"

Probably this is caused by the encoding specified in the xml declaration
(also note different DOCTYPE):

    --- hamburg.htm ---
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
... contents probably in "iso-8859-1" encoding?

    --- test.htm ---
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
... contents probably in "UTF-8" encoding, but not recognized by browser

Add <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8"/> to test.htm,
and it will display correctly.

    --- test.xslt ---
o;?<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>    (note the special characters in the beginning)
<xsl:stylesheet
   xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
   version="1.0"
   xmlns="http://gebaerden.hamburg.de/XSLT-styles"
>
 <xsl:param name="contextPath"/>
 <xsl:output cdata-section-elements="script"/>
 ...

You have xsl:stylesheet xmlns="http://gebaerden.hamburg.de/XSLT-styles"
which probably should be xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
and then you could try adding an output method like

 <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"
  cdata-section-elements="script"
  doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
  doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"
  />

maybe also add omit-xml-declaration="yes" and/or specify another encoding
and/or use other doctype, and then add the meta tag to your html/head:

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8"/>

HTH?
