my HTML-Link in my Homepage looks like

<A HREF="http://www.wein-plus.de/wdb/index.php3"; target="_blank">Here
you can see the WineDataBase</A>

Now please my question:
Is in HTLM an option that I can ad to the Link description so I can
change automatically, in this case, to the Central-European
(Windows-1250) letterset?

There ain't any way to to tell the browser to change charset in a link,
this is done with a meta tag on the page which is loaded

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

This is from the page you had problems with, there is built in smartness
in todays browsers, which looks for UTF-8 characters, if a such is
found, the meta tag is ignored. The pages in question has some UTF-8
characters mixed with the iso-8859-1, which makes the browser to display
it as UTF-8, the best thing you can do, is to contact the webmaster or
the author of the page, to fix the page.
