The Fusion Drive is equipped with a 32GB SSD. This should be sufficient for surfing and office applications, right? Which SSD would you recommend? How can it be installed?

Hello Patrick It is practically impossible to install an SSD on your own, as you have to remove the entire display. Therefore, if you want an SSD, I recommend ordering it directly installed. I have the 1TB version. As a web developer, that's enough for me and I prefer to have more memory. The 2TB also has a double-sized SSD on it. Speed-wise, however, my MacBook is faster with a pure SSD.

Is the 8GB sufficient, or would 16GB be recommended? If 2x4GB slots are occupied, then 2x4GB are additionally required, or is 1x8GB also possible?

I would definitely recommend 16 GB. The slots must be evenly distributed, so 2 x 4GB for example, as you wrote. Here is more information: https://www.datenreise.de/imac-retina-5k-arbeitsspeicher-ram-aufruesten/

Are these specifications sufficient for working with Adobe programmes such as Photoshop, inDesign, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, etc.? ?

This works without any problems. However, it would be advisable to supplement the (slow) fusion drive with an SSD. In other words, boot from an SSD and work on it. This is especially worthwhile for intensive reading and writing work.

The dimensions (width 52.8 height 45cm) in the specification of this iMac 27'' sound more like a 21.5'' machine. What is wrong here?

Apple supplies all iMac's with a stand for placing on a table. To mount it on the wall, ask a carpenter. Perhaps a shelf of a bookcase will do.

Lightroom and Photoshop will not be a problem. Games are possible with restrictions. With limitations means that most games are developed for the Windows platform and not for mac OS. Therefore, there may be limitations in the selection.
