Given that Ulli is in Germany, latin-1 is likely to work fine for him.  And
you do it like this:

# -*- coding: latin-1 -*-
from Tkinter import *
root = Tk()
s = 'Välkommen till Göteborg'  # Welcome to Gothenburg (where I live)
u = unicode(s, 'iso8859-1')
Label(root, text=u).pack()

root.mainloop()
