Now, also changing
'mainpage'=>'Hauptseite'

'mainpage'=>'Hauptseite TEST'
didn't change anything.
Seems MediaWiki doesn't care about what is standing in LanguageDe.php...
No, the interface messages are stored in the database; you should edit
the page [[MediaWiki:mainpage]] on your wiki instead. See
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:MediaWiki_namespace and your
wiki's [[Special:Allmessages]]
I had selected German as Language but the tooltips of
the Links where still
in English, although the caption was in German (e.g. "Spenden" linking to
"support us" with the Tooltip "Support this Site")
[...]
After this, I tried to change the tooltips. Again the
same, I searched for
tooltip-sitesupport in LanguageDe.php.
This time I was surprised: It was standing there already:
'tooltip-sitesupport' => 'Unterstützen Sie {{SITENAME}}',
So the tooltip should be in German *confused*
Here, there is an additional source of confusion - it seems the
messages like "tooltip-sitesupport" are no longer actually used;
instead, these tooltips are defined in [[MediaWiki:monobook.js]],
which is a bundle of JavaScript run on every page view. Since that
"message" is not defined in LanguageDe.php, the English version is
being used as a fall-back.
