thing is:
The pronunciation for the diphthong _äu_ (in Umläutchen or the like) is just _oi_. No strange trickery involved

Mind that, regarding the original post of the Mühlenbrücke, your ü description only explains the pronunciation of the first ü in that word. The ü in Brücke is different. Its much shorter (apparantly, WP calls it Near-close near-front rounded vowel, whereas the ü in Mühle is a Close front rounded vowel). Dülon employs the closed form.

I wouldn't be surprised if the surname Dulon was originally brought to Berlin by the Huguenots (around 1700), and, of course, the u and -on would then be pronounced french, i.e. u becomes ü and -on becomes the nasal o sound.When the name was germanized, it became Dülon, so the ü was adapted but the nasal was dropped. That would be common. I would even expect a stress shift from the second to the first syllable (Du'lon => 'Dülon)

Umläutchen

I might add:The word Mühlenbrücke (mill bridge) is also an interesting case of two silent letters in the German language, one making the preceding vowel long (h) and one that makes it short (c). In other terms: Those two ü's aren't even pronounced the same way.
