Thanks! The command

touch -a <file>

does the job, although nothing is stated in the man/info pages about
ctime (it's all about atime and mtime). It seems that "touch" always
changes the ctime _and_ some other times as well, depending on the
options. So if you want to let mtime unchanged, the above invocation
will do the trick. This is O.K. for me, I don't care about atime being
changed. Thanks again!
