This sounds as your database was created in unicode (utf-8).

No, 8bit ASCII does not exist. ASCII always is 7 bit. As your error
message is in German, I suspect your data is encoded in LATIN1 or LATIN9
(their only difference is the EUR symbol in the latter one).
Can you try to add the following command before your insert statements:
set client_encoding to latin1;
