 * I tried to move index.php from a file to another one, but it somehow got deleted.
   Do I have to install wordpress again to gain index.php or can i copy it from 
   somewhere? And if I have to install it, will my settings stay?

 * ?? Just upload another copy of the file from your downloaded copy of WP if that
   is all you deleted.

 * I tried that, but I think it should be installed because it was just double Dutch.
   But I can’t install only a one file.

 * Download the latest zip file, unzip it, take the index.php file in the WordPress
   folder and upload it to your blog root….
