In case someone else will face similar problems:

I did some experimenting and further researches on the net and it seems 
my gstreamer plugins were somehow "broken". I removed all of them and 
some depending packages, re-installed totem and opened a video file in 
it. Totem then installed the appropriate plugin again. After that, 
playing videos via DLNA worked fine! Also watching images works now :)
Although there are still some issues with that:
- Video playback opens a window with size of the videos resolution. It 
would be nice if that could be configured to full screen somehow.
- When viewing images via DLNA, the image is shown in a window which 
immediately closes. I then have to push the "play"-button on my phone 
again and after that the image-window is shown again and stays there. 
Unfortunately the image gets stretched to the size of the desktop not 
considering the aspect ratio. That doesn't look very well ;)
