Your image is in .pcx format, inserted into the document
via \special{em:graph kurven.pcx}

This \special command is specific to one dvi-driver only
 (em-TeX, I'd expect) and is certainly *not* a standard
TeX or LaTeX command. It cannot work with a Web2C-based
 teTeX distribution, as are most Unix-TeX installations.

When processed by LaTeX2HTML, you file is interpreted
correctly, resulting in the following, within  test/images.tex

{\newpage\clearpage
\lthtmlfigureA{picture35}%
\begin{picture}(4.96,1.5)
\par\put(0,1.5){\special{em:graph kurven.pcx}}
\par\put(0.45,0.05){(a)}
\par\put(1.7,0.05){(b)}
\par\put(2.9,0.05){(c)}
\par\put(4.65,0.05){(d)}
\end{picture}%
\lthtmlfigureZ
\lthtmlcheckvsize\clearpage}


Now if your TeX driver is indeed  em-TeX, or other driver
that understands that \special command, then this should 
work, provided the file  kurven.pcx  can be found.

Within the directory  test/ created by latex2html, create
a symbolic link to the image file in the directory above;
e.g.
  ln -s ../kurven.pcx .
using Unix. There should be a similar command in WindowsNT
or other platform; if not, then copy the image file into
the test/ working directory.


Note that LaTeX2HTML does *not* know to look within the 
parent directory for files named in \special commands,
since there is no standard for such commands being used
in this way.
