Ah, got some light:

if I change

               Calendar cal = GregorianCalendar.getInstance();

to

Calendar cal = new GregorianCalendar(
		TimeZone.getTimeZone("CEST"), new Locale("DE"));

I get better results:

31.12.1990 is week #1 / year 1990 has 52 weeks
31.12.1991 is week #1 / year 1991 has 52 weeks
31.12.1992 is week #53 / year 1992 has 53 weeks
31.12.1993 is week #52 / year 1993 has 52 weeks
31.12.1994 is week #52 / year 1994 has 52 weeks
31.12.1995 is week #52 / year 1995 has 52 weeks
31.12.1996 is week #1 / year 1996 has 52 weeks
31.12.1997 is week #1 / year 1997 has 52 weeks
31.12.1998 is week #53 / year 1998 has 53 weeks
31.12.1999 is week #52 / year 1999 has 52 weeks
31.12.2000 is week #52 / year 2000 has 52 weeks
31.12.2001 is week #1 / year 2001 has 52 weeks
31.12.2002 is week #1 / year 2002 has 52 weeks
31.12.2003 is week #1 / year 2003 has 52 weeks
31.12.2004 is week #53 / year 2004 has 53 weeks
31.12.2005 is week #52 / year 2005 has 52 weeks
31.12.2006 is week #52 / year 2006 has 52 weeks

Maybe there is a problem getting the "default" Locale and/or Timezone.

I changed the line to

Calendar cal = new GregorianCalendar(TimeZone.getDefault(), new Locale("DE"));

looks good - results are ok. And

Calendar cal = new GregorianCalendar(
	TimeZone.getTimeZone("CEST"), Locale.getDefault());

Looks bad, problem is the default Locale. But how to fix this in FreeBSD, is 
there a file in /etc/ which contains a default ? "locale" reports:

# locale
LANG=
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_ALL=

with

# setenv LANG de_DE.ISO8859-1

this could be fixed - and my test program works ! Now looking for a good place 
where to set "LANG" system wide ...
