I know, that the question is somehow subjective, but this is my 2nd document writing in TeX. Therefore I've not so much input about the variety of commands and I would be very grateful for some ideas or commands to create table. My idea was to reduce the amount of horizontal lines and use some.

You can find below the mentioned table

your table already look nice. i would not change much in it appearance. only should look if i can make table code slightly shorter ... :-). for example with use:

  • for the first column would use >{$}c<{$}
  • for other columns instead of c i would rather use S columns type determined by the package siunitx

  • all horizontal lines should be from the ˙booktabs` package:

    \documentclass[a4paper]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{mathtools}

\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{booktabs, threeparttable}
\usepackage{siunitx}
