I broke the error down to a few lines.
To me it looks like an error in ngerman.sty:
======================================
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{ngerman}
\newcommand{\Index}[1]{#1\index{#1}}
\makeindex
\begin{document}
\index{singulär}
\Index{singulär}
\end{document}
======================================
yields
======================================
\indexentry{singul"ar}{1}
\indexentry{singul\active@dq \dq@prtct{a}r}{1}
======================================
so my macro \Index{singulär} causes wrong output to index.idx
There is nor difference
- using german.sty instead of ngerman.sty,
- changing the name of the macro Index
- using \usepackage[ansinew]{inputenc} or \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
Not using \usepackage{ngerman} gives
======================================
\indexentry{singul"ar}{1}
\indexentry{singul"ar}{1}
======================================
wher I would expect \"a !
Do you have any idea to come around this problem?
I don't think the log gives more infornmation, but here it is:

Hi,
I got the following problem with Makeindex:
\index{äquidistant}
yields an entry
\indexentry{\"aquidistant|hyperpage}{152}
which Makeindex sorts under Symbole (Symbols) and not under A.
The option -g of Makeindex would sort
\indexentry{"aquidistant|hyperpage}{152}
correctly but does not sort
\indexentry{\"aquidistant|hyperpage}{152} as I did expect!
There is the obvious way around
\index{aquidistant@äquidistant}
but there are a lot of these Umlaute, so I am looking fpr a better way.
Also I a made all Umlaute written as "a ... when writing the .tex to
disk. But then I got strange indexentries by Latex:
\newcommand{\Index}[1]{#1\index{#1}}
\Index{Vollst"andigkeit}
translated to
\indexentry{Vollst\active@dq \dq@prtct{a}ndigkeit|hyperpage}{2}
which Makeindex did not like:
!! Input index error (file = Skr.idx, line = 14):
-- Extra `@' at position 22 of first argument.
@ in the idx-file usually has a special meaning for \makeindex.
It does separate how the entry is to be sorted from how the
entry is to be written to the sorted index (ind-file).
I assume during writing-time " is active and expands to something
like \active@dq \dq@prtct{#1}.
What does your preamble look like?
Provide a minimal example which exhibits the undesired, possibly
erroneous behavior.
and I do not understand at all!
Any suggestions what could cause this and how to come around?
Suggestion:
Create a macro \umlindex which forms from its argument an index-entry of
pattern: \indexentry{<first part>@<second part>}{2}
In the <first part> Umlaut-stuff is replaced so that sorting is done correctly.
In the <second part> Umlaut-stuff is replaced so that printing is done correctly.
Here is some code I fiddled together. No warranties.
