Hello There!
I'm working happily with the zen-theme and build my own template out of it.
Now I've got the idea to add this banner area. (I've attached a conceptual screenshot of it)
Is this possible without messing up/rewriting the whole HTML Structure?
Greets,
Simon

create a custom layout in panels
You can create a custom layout in panels that you can use without 'messing up/rewriting the whole HTML Structure'.
I followed the instructions on http://drupal.org/node/495654 and it took me 15 minutes.

This works via Panels Module,
This works via Panels Module, right?
I would like to avoid installing one more heavy module - especially because this should be possible with editing page.tpl.php ?
Or is this really to reccomend?
Thanks,
Simon
It is certainly possible.
It is certainly possible. Heck, I've made Zen do this (note how content wraps around the right sidebar) and this (though I'm not entirely proud of that one, and the client sure loves to play with their CKeditor options in disturbing ways).
You have a bit of a choice; you can either modify how one of the current regions works to suit your need, or you can create an entirely new region. The former option can be simpler because there's less code to write, but the latter is sometimes easier because you don't have to undo a bunch of CSS and structure assumptions already in place. Feel free to experiment and see which one will better suit your needs and skill level.
