I mean infinitessimal plates parallel to the big plates of the capacitor. To make it clearer, I've drawn it into my picture of the capacitor. It's also pointed out in my first post. As I seem to not be able to express properly what I mean, perhaps look at the math of my first post, it should...

I also tried it with gauß's law, but I'm stuck on that way, as I don't get an expression for the charge densities on the capacitor. Also it's quite hard to include the defraction, as the field line has to be normal to the transition of dielectric to vacuum because of symmetry (?) and therefore...

Thanks for your answer. I wanted to comprehend that. I've drawn a better picture of it and included a closed path. If I now go on that closed curve the total potential has to be zero as it would otherwise violate conservation of energy. So I get: \oint_C \vec{E}\mathrm{d}\vec{s}=0 \int_{s_1}...
