You were right, the indexing is already wrong. I debugged Solr and saw that the indexwriter gets the wrong values. That was because of the missing Content-Type in the update-requests. It was just text/xml without the charset=utf-8 . So it was interpreted as ISO-8859-1 Ithink. Changing the charset to utf-8 fixed the index. The xml had the encoding set but Solr seems to ignore that.
Limo really seems to converted back correctly by chance. Thanks for the help! Now I just have to figure out how to correctly encode the query string...
