   Unfortunately I discovered that I cant use the parameters offset and page at the same time with a query_posts .

   What I do:

   I call query_posts with following arguments:

   $page = get_query_var('paged');
   $args = array('cat' => $cat, 'posts_per_page' => '6','paged' => $page);

   which works fine. If I add something like 'offset' => '1' the 'paged' parameter has no effect anymore...

   Does anyone know a workaround?

   Regards

   the recommended code for the 1st line of your code is this
   $page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;

   Not sure it will make a difference in combination with offset but its worth trying.

   Thanks for the advice, but doesn't work...

   Indeed it does not make any difference wether you use:

   $page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;

   or:

   $page = get_query_var('paged');

   Any other ideas?

   Are you adding '&paged=' when you load the next page's url? If not, try it.

   I generate the URLs via the function posts_nav_link()...

   Not sure what you mean, but I dont think thats the problem, coz I got no problem if I do not use the offset parameter. So I dont think the problem has something to do with &paged not being loaded...

   pagination simply does not work with 'offset' at the same time;

   if the 'offset' is used to avoid the first post to be shown twice, look into the methods of avoiding duplicate posts:

   Hm, does not solve my actual problem, but thanks for the link!

   The technique used @Multiple Loops in Action brought me to a solution I tested and which worked...

   Is there any special reason why 'offset' and pagination doesnt work togehter?

   Sure,

   I wanted to achieve that the first post of each site is displayed different (bigger thumbnail, other font, etc.)

   I did this using two queries. The first query does not makes any trouble at all. First I thought I could use offset and pagination for the second post, but that doesnt work. Instead you use something like:
   

   <?php $my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=featured&posts_per_page=1');
     while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
     $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID; ?>
       <!-- Do stuff... -->
     <?php endwhile; ?>

   and
   

   <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
     if( $post->ID == $do_not_duplicate ) continue;?>
      <!-- Do stuff... -->
     <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
