Oh, thanks for the great hint! The parameter NLS_LANG was not at all set
for the (os) oracle user. I set it according to your example, and
everything is fine now, the import worked and I still have all my
special characters *yippie*.

This isn't possible. According to metalink note 276914.1, " From 9i
onwards the NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET can have only 2 values: UTF8 or
AL16UTF16 who are Unicode charactersets."

Thanks a lot!
