The purpose of the article is to compute the Euler characteristic of certain Coxeter groups \(W_S\). It is shown that \(\chi(W_S)=0\) for affine \(W_S\). By a mixture of theoretical and computer supported methods, \(\chi(W_S)\) can be determined for hyperbolic groups \(W_S\) of level 1 and 2. Special imbeddings of Coxeter groups as subgroups of finite index in other Coxeter groups are shown to facilitate the computation of the Euler characteristic. By relating \(\chi(W_S)\) to the volume of a fundamental domain of \(W_S\), the author could shorten previous work of \textit{R. Meyerhoff} [Duke Math. J. 57, No. 1, 185-203 (1988; Zbl 0664.57005)] and correct four of the values found by \textit{R. Kellerhals} [Math. Z. 206, No. 2, 193-210 (1991; Zbl 0717.52011)].
