Updating this with some info and good news: FILE IS WORKING AGAIN! :)

Super-happy.

If anybody runs into a similar problem here are the steps that worked for me:

1) Open a Terminal and navigate to the folder where you keep the corrupted ods.
2) Now create a new folder named 'repair' and cd to it:
 mkdir repair
 cd repair/
3) Now extract the files with the following command:
 unzip ../corrupted.ods
4) The folder 'repair' now contains several files & folders, including
'content.xml' which you should edit (you don't need a special XML editor, you
can use every text editor). DON'T touch the other files in that directory!
5) Now we're going to create the repaired file:
 zip -r ../repaired.ods ./*

I had to find & replace a ton of entries and make sure to only delete every
second entry (which was causing the problem in the first place.

To Maxim, Jorendc, Reisi007 and Zeki: you guys have been super responsive and
I'm really thankful that you all were willing to help me out.

This is a great community! :)
