Welcome, and O.E.L. is well Oel which well is Oil if you are German. Someone with more knowlegde will chime in but have you pulled it and tested it with a volt-meter to see if its broken, I think in most cases it will turn out to be the oil sender. I wouldnt worry about it too much unless you care, its a gauge that tells you the oil level and most are not accurate. Its best just to check it the old fashioned way. Oh and by the way...Posts some pictures of your car!
 By the way... Druck Press = Oil Pressure if you were wondering.

First off, how do you know it is not working? For the gauge to show much of anything the engine needs to be at operating temperature and the car idling and sitting level. Do that, then check the oil dipstick, which when full will be halfway between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick. Then check your gauge which should also read in the general vicinity of halfway between the two white marks.
