German Umlauts (but only uppercase) are broken

Question

I have a proxmox3 server. I login via SSH. Umlauts (öäüÜÖÄ) works well - nevertheless if upper or lowercase.

Then I login in my openvz node (debian wheezy) via:

vzctl enter 100

In this node,

• on CLI umlauts are not work
• in a textfile only lowercase Umlauts work (üöäÜÖÄ gives: üöä�^��^��^)

Any time i login "locales" gives me following (even if I did dpkg-reconfigure locales, AND edit /etc/enviroment and set it to:

LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8

Locales inside openvz-node gives:

LANG=
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=

I have no clue, what's wrong here. Maybe you can help.

Strange, today I did this:

First, I enter this on commandline:

export LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
export LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8

Then I restart the node. Now it works. Really Strange. Thougt I did the same thing the last 2 Days.
