That did the trick, almost.<BR>
<BR>
They join each other -so v.build polylines ... worked, but, the table is exactly the same as it was before. The command output said, that the number of lines was reduced to almost 50%. Furthermore, if I check the cat number next to the lines (via d.vect) it looks fine for both methods, first and multi. But the table does not show any diffs and holds the same number of entries like the original one. I could not find anything about that in the manual. <BR>
<BR>
Anyway, thanks for hints, that helped a lot. <BR>

ok. do they overlap or join end-to-end?
if they join, try Markus M's suggestion of v.build.polylines.
if they overlap, try 'v.clean tool=rmdupl'
