hi katja sounds like you have sooty mould. how i get around this is to grow my cucumbers on a trellis. just a post at each end and string about 9 inches apart between the poles. clip the cucumber leaves to the string with a clothes peg. keep stringing until they reach a height of about 5ft. the air circulation reduces the amount of sooty mould.
