There is an entry on http://plantuml.com/faq about charset that you should read:
- I have issues with accented characters

So which charset are you using by default ?
You can know it with the following command line:
java -jar plantuml.jar -help

It's very likely that the file that is storing your Umlauts uses a different charset.

BTW, your example is working fine on the online server:
