Seems like the core of the problem is here:

If that rowcount estimate weren't off by three orders of magnitude you
probably would be getting a more appropriate plan. The first thing you
could try is increasing the statistics target for aktennummer. Also,
if you're running in a non-C locale and this is 8.2.5 or older, try a
more recent 8.2.x. Updating to 8.3 or 8.4 might help even more.
