I changed /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/de that it contained this entry:

......
key <AD03> {        [         e,    E               ],
                    [        currency, currency     ]       };
instead of:

key <AD03> {        [         e,    E               ],
                    [  EuroSign                     ]       };


Also I changed my xterm config to use an iso8859-15 font like: 
misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso8859-15

(I took this from the debian Euto Howto: 
 http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-euro-support/)

Best regards
