it works here

i don't know if it helps but  try to make a new format for context that
includes support for german

texexec --make --language=de,en en


additionally you can try:
%---
\mainlanguage[de]
\enableregime[il1] % latin1 input encoding (Unix)
\setupencoding[ec] % ec aka T1 font encoding

\usetypescript[berry][ec]

\definetypeface[BitstreamCharter][rm][serif][charter][default][encoding=ec]

\setupbodyfont[BitstreamCharter,12pt]

\starttext
Das ist ein deutscher Text, überaus dumm, aber mit sämtlich
benötigten Umlauten: ä,ö,ü und ß.
\stoptext
% ---
