 * I don´t know what I already tried to put the plug Eventlist in in my own theme.
   I read the introductions where I have to copy the functions into my theme but
   it don´t work – or I did something wrong.
 * I copied all functions into functions.php which is part of my theme. But then
   my wordpress looks strange and all the code is shown.

 * Yes. This one.
 * Can I call the shortcode directly via php e.g. for my own template, theme or 
   plugin?
    Yes, you can create an instance of the “SC_Event_List” class which is
   located in the plugin folder under “includes/sc_event-list.php” and call the 
   function show_html($atts).With $atts you can specify all the shortcode attributes
   you require. Another possibility would be to call the wordpress function “do_shortcode()”.
