I'm running a German Windows XP Professional and want to know whether my IDE-DVD-drive is connected to the master or slave without opening the machine. The device manager shows Ort: Pfad 0 (0) (in English: Location: path 0 (0)?) on the first properties page of the DVD drive below the Hersteller (in English: Vendor?). Does this mean it is the master?

Yes, it's on the master. it's on channel 0, device 0. Slave is generally device 1.

mostly correct. if you have it manually set to master by jumper instead of cable select, this might not be accurate – aking1012 Jan 1 '11 at 16:47

Download the Nero Info tool

Run it and then go to the Configuration tab.
