Thank you Wolfgang. This works and it will very likely also work for my 
project. 
I'm afrraid though that I left out an important detail, namely that the ToC 
itself must be mentioned in the ToC.
What I'm expected to emulate is the following: (with real pagenumbers of course)

CONTENTS

Acknowledgements                                i
Abstract                                                        ii
Contents                                                iii
List of Illusttratiions                         iv
List of Tables                                  v
Abbreviations and Library sigla vi
Preface                                                 vii

Chapter 1                                               8
Chapter 2 etc.

So my real question should have been: Is there a way to place the ToC in an 
unnumbered chapter, which should not be at the very beginning of the book? 
But you have suggested the answer already: Changing \title{Contents} to 
\prechapter{Contents} does just that. Clean solution for an, imho,  odd request.

Best regards,
Robert Blackstone
