I get this from \hyphenatedword:

Ein-bu-ßen

Sy-ste-ment-schei-dung

The first is correct (Duden 1986 R 179: "ß bezeichnet einen Laut und  
wird nicht getrennt). The second should be Sy-stem-ent-schei-dung,  
but this is probably one of the many weird exceptions of German that  
TeX can't handle. What did you expect? (When I switch to language 
[de], I get Sys-te-ment-schei-dung).
