Can reproduce.
Comment 2 Ismael Asensio 2024-11-27 20:49:05 UTC 
This is unfortunately an issue of the station list that the Deustche Wetterdienst (DWD) provides, which uses just ascii. This means the diphthongs use their expanded version and ß is expressed as "ss".

We make sure to still find those locations when using diacritics on the search text, but cannot convert the other way around because it is not always a valid conversion (specially for places in other languages than German)
