It would help to provide your url so people can see what is happening.

Hi Tom,

the url is www.mk3.emmixx2711.de, the specific site is:

Aktuelles
Pressemeldungen (= press news, actual total 11. 1,3, 7 to 10 open, 2, 4, 5, 6, and 11 do not)
Thanks in advance

Are you sure that the actual file names match the urls? It looks to me like in 2, for example, one might have Baumaßnahme and the other Baumanahme.

Great Input!!!

Thanks!!! Due to your comment i found out why the files coulnd't be opened: The names included "Umlaute" and the German "sharp s". These letters were transformed automatically and than coulnd't match anymore. So easy and so difficult.

have a nice weekend!
