You program contains: de.dd<-c("Dresden",51,2,13,44)
and since you are mixing characters with numerics and putting them into a single vector, the data is coerced to a common data type, which in this case is numeric. What are you trying to do? Do you want to use a list? > de.dd [1] "Dresden" "51" "2" "13" "44" > de.dd<-list("Dresden",51,2,13,44) > de.dd [[1]] [1] "Dresden" [[2]] [1] 51 [[3]] [1] 2 [[4]] [1] 13 [[5]] [1] 44 A list will maintain the mode of each element.
