You should have given the German string giving the error, so we can 
reproduce the problem.

A possible source of trouble is the definition of %w:
"%w: represents all alphanumeric characters."
So if your names has German accented characters, your expression won't work.
Tried with "Däve goes to Brîtain", I didn't get your error, but 've' and 
'Bri' as result.
With "Dävé goes to ßrîtain", I got empty strings, so I cannot reproduce 
the problem.

Note that indicating the version of Lua you use can also help us.
