What a coincidence, I am German and I already knew your helpful page :-)

In the web interface, the events are listed as like this:
2       11/02/2011 00:01:14     CPU2 Temp       Temperature     Overheat - 
Deasserted
1       11/01/2011 23:01:14     CPU2 Temp       Temperature     Overheat - 
Asserted

Thanks, I'll try the update later.

So there is no way of getting the temperature in °C, just the values
'Low', 'Medium', 'High' and 'Overheat'?
