The attached patch doesn't seem right at all, to me; if it does actually
do the right thing, then it seems to me you should just be passing a
unicode string in the first place. In other words:

    form.addField(u'währung', forms.String(required=True))

I haven't really looked into the code at all, though, so I suspect there
may be other thorny unicode issues.
