Jorg -

It's a beautiful photo, but you need to work on the levels.  That can be 
done in Photoshop.  Just go to Image>Adjust>Levels and bring the black 
slider way over.  There are no true blacks in your scan.  You can rescan 
it, adjusting levels before you scan, but I usually like to do the 
adjusting in PS.  You could also select the background and run a Dust and 
Scratches filter to get rid of the splotchiness.  I think you'll end up 
with a stunning photo.
