I just copied index.php and strippped it off the comments/trackback-stuff.

Have a look at http://bronski.net/ - the links at the top of the sidebar are 
"pages".

I just found out that the Kubrick-theme has a whole lot of templates as 
they are mentioned in wp-blog-header.php, like page, single, archive, 
category etc., so I guess I could put my page.php into a theme-directory, 
too. I'll try that later tonight.
