I'm new to Joomla, but I figured out how to set it up and create my first joomla template which only includes the content area and a top menu.

Now I want to display a different images on every page. I do not know how to do it in Joomla, because as far as I know I can only write articles (with images in them, which is not what I want) and include them in the Menu Items as Layout: Article.

Can I somehow create my own parameters for the Layout: Article and use them in my template? The cms user should be able to decide which image to show on each "page".

A: 

You can do it by means of a module. You can define for which menu position each module is visible. You can put any article inside a module with a Article as Module extension

"You can define for which menu position each module is visible" how do I do that?

Log in to the backend and go to Extensions->Module Manager. Choose a module you want and edit its properties. When in edit view you have a "Menu Assignment" box on the bottom left. You can show this module for all menu postions, for none of them or selected ones.

Header Image

This allows you to place your images in a folder and name them according to the page. You can match to articleid, menuid, category, section, or even show a rotating random image.

You would then just need to publish the module in the correct position.
