I just tried to solve this problem by converting the dump file back with
the iconv commando (iconv -f utf8 -t latin1 dump.sql).
But it stops executing with "illegal input sequence at position 21051".
Is there another converter program which I can try?

Thanks for the help.
I think you tend on the "Character set" Section
(
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Backing_up_a_wiki#Character_set).
My prolbem is that my old provider does not provide the console program
"mysqldump".
The only way for me is to export via phpmyadmin. And there I can't use
the option "-default-character-set=latin1".
Is there a way to convert the dump after export?

the messages never showed up ... even after waiting some hours).
