Trust me, you are not the first person to be burned by smart quotes. (Viva la
vim?)
I suggest putting each piece in its own vtu file and then create a vtm file
that points to the two of them. Here is a simple example of the contents of a
vtm file:
<VTKFile type="vtkMultiBlockDataSet" version="1.0" byte_order="LittleEndian"
header_type="UInt64">
<vtkMultiBlockDataSet>
<DataSet index="0" file="test/test_0_0.vtu">
</DataSet>
<DataSet index="1" file="test/test_1_0.vtu">
</DataSet>
</vtkMultiBlockDataSet>
</VTKFile>

You are a life-saver, literally. That would not have occurred to me for a
long time believe me.
As a final step, in the first piece I want to create only the geometry and
in the second piece some points (these are gauss points actually) and with some
data.
The problem is, paraview does not see “strain” when it is defined as given
below. However, if I swap the point dataset to the first piece it works: on the
wrong points of course.
And second, it is apparently not possible to show the geometry and point
values at the same time. Do you think I need to define two separate files and
"light them up" separately on main paraview screen?
Thank you a lot again. I think this will conclude my problem entirely.

“smart quotes” feature that replaces the straight quote to a bent open or
closed quote. The VTK reader only accepts the straight quotes (ASCII character
34).
