Thanks a lot for sharing that. I’ll have a look at that plugin and get back with a feedback.

@all: Please feel free to add other suggestions. The more the merrier 😉

You are the One. Thank you so very much for pointing me in the right direction!

I would never have found that:
wp-content/.htaccess contained a RewriteRule I had put there before activating SSL:
RewriteRule .*\.(gif|png|jpg|doc|xls|pdf|html|htm|xlsx|docx|mp4|mov)$ https://stimmbaend-hannover.de/ [NC]
Missed the s in that line …

Another PEBKAC solved in well under an hour. 🙂

Thanks a lot Michael for your hint. This put me on the right track:
The issue is caused by NOT selecting anything at all for “Front Page Section 1 Content”. By default all four dropdown selectors for all of the sections are empty.
Unfortunately that causes the issue I experienced.

Solution: From Customizing – Theme Options I chose “— Select —” for “Front Page Section 1 Content” to populate the empty entry.

Before:

After:

I would have expected the same result for not selecting anything at all and chosing the — Select —” option. In both cases “nothing” is defined as content for section 1, but leaving the field blank – which it is by default – causes the static startpage to be displayed twice.

Please consider this a change request.
