Is it possible to create a new SVN repository which is automatically structured by the SVN standard repository layout (trunk, branches, tags) via commandline (svnadmin create)?
Or do I always have to create thos directories manually?

A:
What I do is after creating the repository, I import a separate directory called SVNtmp that already has trunk/branches/tags in it. Don't know of anyway to automatically do this.

`svn import /path/to/some/skeleton/dir` is indeed the fastest way I know without have to create a checkout, copy the skeleton, and committing it

Since it is only a suggested layout it doesn't do that out of the box. If you are using linux, here is a simple script I use for that:
#!/bin/bash
url=svn://somewhere
svn mkdir $url/$1/trunk $url/$1/branches $url/$1/tags -m "New project $1" --parents

Thank you and the other answerers. This solution might fit best for me.

You have to remember that there are (at least) two standard layouts, the choice of which depends on what's most appropriate to your projects:
/
/trunk
/project1
/project2
/branches
/tags
or
/
/project1
/trunk
/branches
/tags
/project2
/trunk
/branches
/tags
SVN is totally flexible about how you lay out the repository which is why it doesn't create a default layout.

subversion edge has a similar feature built in. Also some additional administration features. You might want to give it a try.
