That's right, I don't want the DHCP server to answer DHCP requests from nodes not setup using Cobbler during
the installation part (after assigning hostname/ip/mac). The system then should have the same IP which was assigned during the Cobbler setup/install.

As soon as I remove 'range dynamic-bootp' from the dhcp.template file, it stops working,

How should I set this up in the cleanest/simpliest way?
We will also have it multi-homing for appr. 10 networks (vlans)

If I understand what you are saying, I believe what you do is have the
DHCP server assign IP addresses that it will respond to (so you have
supply your system's MAC address) to that it can properly do the PXE
boot and kickstart installation.  You can then configure your system to
use static addresses (non-DHCP) going forward by doing whatever the
command line equivalent of unchecking the DHCP box is in the web UI.
--static=1?
