I first tried it with R 2.13.2 and raster version 1.9-64 (16-January-2012).
Now I also installed the most recent version R 2.14.1 (Platform: i386-pc-mingw32/i386 (32-bit)) and raster version 1.9-64 (16-January-2012).

But in both cases no success. X11() opens and draws the axis and the
border for the scale but no raster...

There is no problem with vector graphics...like:
DEU_border <- getData("GADM", country="DEU", level=1)
plot(DEU_border,axes=TRUE)

Any suggestions what is going on resp. how to solve it...?
