Yes, DEU is the default, because this is the Windows default for
Germany.

Good.

Yes, the problem is most likely incompatible encoding.  Did you type
"M-x ispell-change-dictionary RET de_DE_frami RET" to change to this
dictionary?

Also, where did you get the de_DE_frami dictionary?  And how exactly
is hunspell invoked for this dictionary after you invoke
ispell-change-dictionary as above (look in Process Explorer or some
equivalent)?
