I would be tempted to let this ticket slide (no, they won't be denied boarding) and just remember to avoid umlauts consistently in all future bookings.
[I am surprised Bremen didn't just change the name, they must get it all the time].
i give them another call tomorrow. i have no problem at all to let the ticket as it is, but we wont be able to chose seats. overnight in a middle seat is doable, obviously, but we would like to avoid that if possible.
i have even seen in old emails that we flew with something like MULLER instead of MÜLLER or MUELLER in the past and wasnt an issue at all.
