Hi Horst,

[quote]on the start page of the portal, the 3*4=12 lead articles from the 
section pages should be shown. [/quote]

This sounds like a case of content reuse. My first thought is to use the Data 
module. Define the lead articles as data items in the Data module. You say that 
the articles are in an (external?) database. You may need to import them into 
the Data module first so editors can easily select them. (Unless you already 
have a selection mechanism for the database.) The Contacts example in the 
demo-project uses this approach.

There are also two recipes for content reuse in 
http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/use-cases/content-reuse.html. Do you need 
to display the articles on the start page in their entirety or just tease them? 
Perhaps you could adapt one of the teaser components to display the first 
paragraph of each article?
