I figured it out. When I was downgrading my libc6 it somehow removed
the 'ldconfig' file /sbin - so I just copied it from another machine
with  a similar setup and I could (or better apt-get could) finish the
downgrade  of my libc6 and from there everything worked fine.

Ah - with the old libc6, you needed the ldso package. In
testing/unstable that's only needed for libc4/libc5 compatibility.

Thanks!

I know I did something stupid and I won't do it again :)
Thanks again!

 Don't do that if you don't know what you're doing. :)

 Would it be possible to add the testing directories to my sources.list
 and get all the packages with apt-get from the Debian server? Would
 'apt-get upgrade' work then? I don't want to upgrade to testing
 completely (!!) but I want the blic6 package work !
 What can I do?

 If you can't get the old package reinstalled, you might as well upgrade
 to testing. Put it in your sources.list, apt-get update, apt-get
 dist-upgrade.
