Hmm, I got it working with XFree4 from Woody now. I did the following 
(includes some hints from this ml):
in /etc/environment (or a user's file):
LANG="de_DE.ISO-8859-15"
LANGUAGE="DE_DE"
LC_ALL="de_DE"

Then I changed the file /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/de for my german keyboard which 
is set in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4:
search for "EuroSign" and replace it with "currency".

This seems to be an error either in the file or in the implementation because 
both are the same in the ISO tables but only the later works (just like in 
Xmodmap). Maybe the author should be noticed about this (don't know who that 
is, though). 

Now I am happy with an € (euro sign) :-D
