What are the errors?

Somebody probably could, but as you haven't described  what is wrong it 
is very difficult to help you. You could/should copy-paste the 
error-traceback that was printed when your program failed.

Where are the functions union1 and union2 defined and why do you want to 
find the union between two strings, it doesn't make sense. On the other 
hand, if feld_th and feld_na where two lists it would make sense.

Can you come up with a simpler example, and demonstrate what goes wrong?

I don't have mk4py installed, and don't intend installing it.
