Thanks for the hints and sorry for the delay. Here is what I did after
having deleted everything related to pgadmin in my user directory:
First I created the file config_local.py following the advice at
https://www.pgadmin.org/faq/#8
Then I started pgAdmin4 on a console. During the start I get this message:
--- snip ---
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyPython path:
"/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages:/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages"
Python Home: ""
Webapp path: "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pgadmin4-web/pgAdmin4.py"
NOTE: Configuring authentication for DESKTOP mode.
pgAdmin 4 - Application Initialisation
======================================

* Serving Flask app "pgadmin" (lazy loading)
* Environment: production
WARNING: Do not use the development server in a production environment.
Use a production WSGI server instead.
* Debug mode: off

MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
--- snip ---
(don't know if this is ok...)

The browser window with pgAdmin4 opened. In order to see what happened
please revise the attached pdf. As you will see, my trial ended up with
... nothing.

Looking through the pgAdmin4.startup.log (attached) I didn't find
nothing special - this seems ok but I must confess that don't know how
to interprete the messages in pgadmin4.log (attached) and if there is
any hint in order to see what went wrong.

I would appreciate any help in order to get pgAdmin4 working.

Best regards,
Michael

P.S.: The authentication configuring in pg_hba.conf:

# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local all all trust
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
host all username xxx.xxx.xx.0/24 trust

(the last line I introduced so that my normal user can access the
database remotely from different machines in my local network.)
