Yes, I'm German, and I've used komascript before, and that is definitely
a  way to achieve what I want. 

I'm just trying to repeat the nice experience I had with writing a
modern CV in LaTeX - download a template, put in your data, and enjoy a
beautifill CV (or letter) - actually much more beautiful than I would
have ever managed to produce, and all that without hours or days of
tweaking.

But I probably should have a second look at the scrlttr2 class.
Thanks for the tip.
