Thanks! Tested it now. Unfortunately it doesn't work.
I get:

  Loading /home/fab/HOME/HomePage/latex_dissertation.rel...done
  Loading reftex-parse...done
  Building *toc* buffer...
  Loading reftex-sel...done
  Building *toc* buffer...done.
  file-name-extension: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

when I open a tex-file which is an 'article'. For other classes than
book, report and article there is no problem. It seems that the search
for those classes works fine but opening up the toc makes problems.
Maybe, you have a second idea!?
