Ok, further investigations condensed into something like:

pjgaukru = pj_init_plus("+init=epsg:31467");
pjwgs84 = pj_init_plus("+init=epsg:4326");

// easting / northing to lon / lat
pt = pj_inv(pt,pjgaukru)

//???
double z = 0;

pj_datum_transform(pjgaukru, pjwgs84, 1, 0, &pt.u, &pt.v, &z);

However the result is still several minutes away from the expected
coordinate. What do I miss?
