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
