only strange characters were shown on the shell when pressing mapped key combos (altr+a, altr+s etc), see screenshot.
When using "read" on cli, I got:
^[ä ^[ß
In emacs, I got the following message:
M-ä is undefined
So somehow some escape sequence was inserted in addition to the character itself.
The final solution was to remove this line:
modifier_map Mod1 { <RALT> };
The keyboard map mapped the key combo (e.g. altr+a) to the correct character (ä), but xkb also sent the modifier key Mod1, which was interpreted by the shell and emacs as some control key.
