As stated above:
I am searching for 0-Gauge stuff like tracks, a tender and coaches.
Best would be marklin of course
But all other will be fine too (as long as it's made of metall and not plastic)

... best try out Hans-Willi's shop:

http://www.williwill.de/

Be prepared to spend some money, though. Märklin's pricier than gold.

Thanks, but i do not want to buy stuff from that guy.
I better wait some months for ebay...
His engines are not very special but he still wants stupid, insane prices
Also, i know that most of his engines are already restored and he does not mention that....

... yes Mirko, I know, and I forgot to add the  to my post about this guy. His prices are obscene, and I just cannot fathom how he finds customers who actually buy his stuff. He is also obnoxious: I once offered him one of my Märklin trains (I used to collect) for sale. He said my asking price for a "Fliegender Hamburger" in O gauge was outrageous . Yet he had no problem offering the same item in the same condition as mine for almost 10 times what I asked for it.
Steer well clear of HWW!
Your best bet would be hunting ebay. You can get good bargains, even on Märklin O gauge, if you're patient ...

Mirko, its not original but its cheap and works well, even if you have to import it. For track I recommend the Lionel 3 rail tin track.
