There is different ways to do it
1. redirect in the web server config (apache):
Redirect permanent /abc/123.html http://www.mywebsite.de/xyz/987.html
2. Use server side script (php):
<?php header("Location: http://www.mywebsite.de/xyz/987.html"); ?>
3. Use meta tag to redirect:
<META http-equiv="refresh"
content="0;URL=http://www.mywebsite.de/xyz/987.html">
4. Use some javascript to redirect:
<body onload="document.location='http://www.mywebsite.de/xyz/987.html'">
I have listed those in the order in which I would use those, server settings
is best, server side script is second, third is meta tag and last javascript
as people don't always enable it.

I hope the examples are easy enough to use.
