Thanks all,

InitSplit did just the trick I was looking for.

As the documentation of it is quite bad, I'll include my current setup 
as an usage example, just in case someone else is interested.

from .emacs:
---

(load "initsplit")
(load "~/emacs_customs/font-latex")
(load "~/emacs_customs/bibtex")
(load "~/emacs_customs/org")

(custom-set-variables
;; This you can do with customize:
;; M-x customize-variable initsplit-customizations-alist
 '(initsplit-customizations-alist (quote (("org-" 
"~/emacs_customs/org.el" t) ("bibtex-" "~/emacs_customs/bibtex.el" t) 
("font-latex-" "~/emacs_customs/font-latex.el" t))))
)

---

The code can be abstracted more, but then it gets unclear to beginners 
like me...


Best Wishes,
