Thanks! :)

Well, I've made no tutorial but I can give you some tips:
First take the screenshoot in jpg and open it in your raw converter. Then create fake brighter and darker exposures from it (I've created a +1,+2 and -1,-2).
Then I took this faked exposure latitude and created an HDR with 2-3 different tonemappings. These different tonemapping-results were merged in Photoshop via Layer Masks to one image.
This image then got further postprocessing.
One step was noise reducing - therefore I've used "Reduce Noise" and "Dust & Scracthes" in several combinations and always in seperate layers. These new layers were also painted in via layer masks and afterwards the contrasts were enhanced and with "smart sharpening" (again painted in smoothly via layer mask) I tried to enhance the edges a bit.
