Tanks a lot Maik. I did some further investigations:
After repairing the metadata with exiftools as you proposed and re-reading the
metadata from the image it is shown correctly in digikam. 
Then I updated the star rating in Apple Aperture and wrote the change from the
DB to the jpg. Again, after re-reading the metadata information, digikam is not
updating the star informtion according to the changes done in aperture, whereas
all other image software packages I could test on show the changed star
information. I assume this might be a challenge for other people with large
repositories which are currently swithching to digikam (which is an AMAZING
tool!) as well. I will try to open a request with Exiv2.
