I have some files like "Lüftung.txt" in my repository. The strange  
thing is
that I can pull / add / commit / push those files without problem but
git-status always complains that thoes files are untraced (but not  
missing).

This is a known problem.  Unfortunately, noone has implemented a fix,
although if you're serious about it, I can point you to threads  
where it
has been hinted how to solve the issue.

FWIW the issue is that Mac OS X decides that it knows better how to  
encode
your filename than you could yourself.

More like, Mac OS X has standardized on Unicode and the rest of the  
world hasn't caught up yet. Git is the only tool I've ever heard of  
that has a problem with OS X using Unicode.
