Andrea,
thanks for your fast reply! I don't have the prj filees, but I know
the projection which I filled in during the .shp import.
In order to get this in, is there any howto on constructing the prj
files, and after that, do I just specify a folder for the shapefiel
datasource? I have only tried to import all .SHP files one by one,
thus not being able to point out any other dbf/shx files in the same
/data folder.
I guess I am missing a tutorial on how to do this in the GeoServer
configuration interface 
Thanks for your help!

GeoServer can only load the .shp, .shx, .dbf, and you're
missing the .prj needed for projection definition (so you'll
have to specify one when loading the data).
The .qix file should be a spatial index, if it's in the right
format GeoServer will make use of it (what did generate it?
GeoServer is compatible with the .qif files generated by
shptree, an utility shipped with mapserver, and can generate
them when missing provided the shapefile is not too big).
The e00 file should be an arcinfo export and I guess
it contains the same information as the shp, but in
topological format (we are not able to read it anyways).
The avl file I'm not sure, but we can't open it either.
Anyways, if you want to display the shapefile contents
and query attributes, the .shp, .shx and .dbf are all
you need.
Cheers
Andrea
