The high bit characters are a problem, you need to use
TeX internal ^^ab etc encoding. See as an example the files under
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/

in hyph-utf8/patterns/tex/hyph-de-1996.tex
..
.ax4
.äm3
.ät2s
.be3erb
...

and in hyph-utf8/patterns/ptex/hyph-de-1996.ec.tex
...
.ax4
.^^e4m3
.^^e4t2s
.be3erb
...

That is the reason why ptex version of the hyphenation patterns is shipped.

Best wishes
