Some city names shown incorrectly in Events API

[Presskopp]

Hi,

I just found that entering the german city of Gießen shows the events correctly, but not the name of the city, it will be shown as Giesen

Taking it a step further with the city of Bad Gottleuba-Berggießhübel it will only show Bad, which is bad ;)
After talking to @obenland he said it will be recognized by the API as Bad Gottleuba-Berggießhübel

I tested some more cities having the ß character and such, but they were ok so far.

I'm happy to look at this next week. Any other major special characters to account for @obenland?

I found another glitch using 5.1-beta3-44723, local installation:

Entering Hamburg I get results for Hambûrg!

München -> Munchen
Berlin -> Berlín

IIRC this is mostly expected as we use the "primary" name for a city in the response (which is mostly English-centric AFAIK) but many lookups of non-ascii cities actually match in the "alternative names" which results in the returned data differing from the searched data.

To fix this I believe we'd want to change the data-source it's looking up against.
