Sorry for spamming. I found out that it has to deal with the 4326 entry. I
have added the projection 4324 from the Postgis installation package, and I
get quite precise results:
POINT(8.30107722233746 50.1359315159791)
Nevertheless, this result differs a few meters from the one you obtained
with the 4326 projection. So I guess, with your entry I should get it right.
