Peculiar. I don't know if it helps, but the first one seems to have
been encoded UTF-8 and then decoded CP437; and the second has been
encoded Latin-1 and decoded CP850.

>>> "B=C3=BCrgerGegenFlugl=C3=A4rm".encode("utf-8").decode("437")
'B=E2=94=9C=E2=95=9DrgerGegenFlugl=E2=94=9C=C3=B1rm'
>>> "B=C3=BCrgerGegenFlugl=C3=A4rm".encode("iso-8859-1").decode("850")
'B=C2=B3rgerGegenFlugl=C3=B5rm'

But why those particular encodings... weird.
