so I had two cases:
by my profidor: freebsd, no utf-8 support I had to put the following 
into pmwiki config.php

setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de_CH.ISO8859-1');


my local xampp install: ubuntu linux, I had to put the following into 
httpd-languages.conf (apache config on the server):

DefaultCharset ISO-8859-1


both things makes working pmwiki like on pmwiki.org . ..
