If you archived your forum properly, I think it should be as easy as re-extracting it. And if you have shell access for both, this could just be done via terminal. Just what I think as I could be wrong though.

Thank you both, Aharis and Emanuele...
Everything seems to work now since a few minutes.
There was a mess about the file-permissions on the server before, therefore it did not work, if I understood it well, what Ferrika told me.

File permission can always cause problems especially when transferring from one server to another. That is where ssh access come in handy if you have access to it. You can simply dump your database and archive elkarte via terminal and transfer them both from the old server to the new one, then restore them in the new server. Normally if the domain, database and its username is the same, it should run properly.
But IMO old methods of archiving and extracting your elkarte forum via filemanager should work too. Similarly backing up and restoring your database via phpmyadmin.
Anyway, nice to hear that your forum is already working good.

Thank you very much, Emanuele! I did not dare to do this before.
