When I import fields containing special characters, the content of that field is cut at the special character.
For Example:
field contains "Sänger" only "S" is imported and the rest is blank.
The next field is imported properly again.

Your file needs to be in UTF8 encoding. Setting as "by design".

See text on the project page:

Note that all files need to be in UTF8 encoding.

You can convert to UTF8 by using OpenOffice.org to create your CSV files, or by loading it in a text editor such as Notepad+ and convert the encoding. Non UTF8 files are generally generated by MS Excel if you choose CSV format.
