How can I include a "hidden" \section*{} or \chapter*{} in the header (centered) using scrpage2?
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{scrbook}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[automark]{scrpage2}
\pagestyle{scrheadings}
\chead{\headmark}
\ohead{\pagemark}
\automark[chapter*]{section*} %%leftpageheader: chapter* / rightpagehaeder: section*
\begin{document}
\chapter*{Bla}
\pagebreak
\section*{Blub}
\end{document}
scrbook like book does not provide automatic running head for \chapter* and \section*. If everything should be unnumbered, set \secnumdepth to -2 and use \chapter and \section instead of \chapter* and \section*:
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{book}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[automark]{scrpage2}
\pagestyle{scrheadings}
\chead{\headmark}
\ohead{\pagemark}
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{-2}%
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\chapter{Bla}
\section{Blub}
\Blindtext[10]
\end{document}
If you have numbered and not numbered chapters and section, you can use:
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{book}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[automark]{scrpage2}
\pagestyle{scrheadings}
\chead{\headmark}
\ohead{\pagemark}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\chapter*{Bla}
\markboth{\MakeUppercase{Bla}}{}
\section{Blub}
\markright{\MakeUppercase{Blub}}
\Blindtext[10]
\end{document}
But using scrbook it is more easy to use \addchap and \addsec:
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{scrbook}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[automark]{scrpage2}
\pagestyle{scrheadings}
\chead{\headmark}
\ohead{\pagemark}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\addchap{Bla}
\addsec{Blub}
\Blindtext[10]
\end{document}
If you want to avoid the ToC entries:
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,headings=optiontotoc]{scrbook}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[automark]{scrpage2}
\pagestyle{scrheadings}
\chead{\headmark}
\ohead{\pagemark}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\addchap[]{Bla}
\addsec[]{Blub}
\Blindtext[10]
\end{document}
And please note, that scrpage2 is obsolete. You should use scrlayer-scrpage:
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,headings=optiontotoc]{scrbook}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[automark]{scrlayer-scrpage}
\chead{\headmark}
\ohead{\pagemark}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\addchap[]{Bla}
\addsec[]{Blub}
\Blindtext[10]
\end{document}
See the KOMA-Script manual or the German KOMA-Script manual or the German KOMA-Script book for more information about scrlayer-scrpage, \addchap, \addsec and option headings.
\chapterin the same document (like an unnumbered appendix)?

addchap / addsec command is new to me, but much better than the "old" \chapter* And thanks for the information that scrpage2is obsolete!

As your intention is to get unnumbered sections or chapters you can use KOMA's commands \addchap and \addsec which will produce unnumbered headings, but set the head marks and add the title to toc.
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{scrbook}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[automark]{scrpage2}
\pagestyle{scrheadings}
\chead{\headmark}
\ohead{\pagemark}
\automark[chapter]{section} %%leftpageheader: chapter* / rightpagehaeder: section*
\begin{document}
\addchap{Bla}
\pagebreak
\addsec{Blub}
\pagebreak
test
\end{document}
\chapter*here to have an unnumbered chapter or to prevent the chapter from being in toc (or both)?scrpage2is obsolete. You should usescrlayer-scrpageinstead ofscrpage2.
