sorry this is of course

(defun replace-misthaufen ()
   "ersetzt im gesamten buffer:
\374  => ü
\337  => ß
\344  => ä
\366  => ö"
   (interactive
    (beginning-of-buffer)
    (while (search-forward " " nil t)
      (replace-match "ü" nil t))
    (beginning-of-buffer)
    (while (search-forward " " nil t)
      (replace-match "ß" nil t))
    (beginning-of-buffer)
    (while (search-forward " " nil t)
      (replace-match "ä" nil t))
    (beginning-of-buffer)
    (while (search-forward " " nil t)
      (replace-match "ö" nil t))
    ))


which does not work either.
