Hi Devin and @all,
thanks, but I've found out, that a plugin isn't necessary for my initial question.
If someone needs a solution, here is mine, found at a German tutorial yesterday;
If you like to show a header image above a category page, then follow these steps:
1)
prepare your header images: right/desired size (I used for example full width images with 960x250px)
2)
upload them in Wordpress' media library; note/copy the path of the image, you'll need it for the following code.
3)
Open archive.php and find at around line 11 <div id="main">
4)
directly after this, insert this (note the explations within the code):
<div id="categoryimagestyle"> <!-- your own CSS for category image -->
<img src='<?php
if (is_category('167')) { // the ID of your category
echo 'http://yoursite.de/files/2012/06/categoryimage-167.jpg';
} elseif (is_category('photography')) { // you can enter the ID or the slug of the category
echo 'http://yoursite.de.de/files/2012/06/categoryimage-photography.jpg';
} elseif (is_category('164')) {
echo 'http://yoursite.de.de/files/2012/06/categoryimage-164.jpg';
} elseif (is_category('design')) {
echo 'http://yoursite.de.de/files/2012/06/categoryimage-design.jpg';
}?>'>
</div>
5) Save and you're ready; use Firebug to adjust your CSS style for category image, here: #categoryimagestyle
6) Explanations:
- you can enter the ID of your categories or the name: (is_category('167')) or (is_category('photography'))
- the CSS for the category header image is just this:
#categoryimagestyle {
margin-left: 20px;
margin-top: -6px;
}

Hope this helps, if anybody needs this, too. It's a great possibility for an "eye-catcher" at top of the category pages.
