But I would need 4 instead of 3 widget areas on the front page. Is there any way to manage this?
Here are some resources for adding new widgetized areas to a theme:

It would require that you first make a child theme, so your changes won’t be overwritten when you update the theme. If you’re new to child themes, you can explore these guides:

Also, I would like to have more space between the links and the footer on grid pages (for example here: https://www.feg-muensingen.ch/wp/medien/ )
This should do the trick:
.page-template-grid-page .content-wrapper.full-width.without-featured-image {
margin-bottom: 50px;
}
Don’t edit the theme files directly, otherwise your changes will be overwritten every time the theme is updated to the latest version.
An easy way to add custom CSS is to install the Jetpack plugin and activate the Custom CSS module. You’ll then add your custom CSS in the new stylesheet editor that’ll appear in your dashboard, under Appearance > Edit CSS.
As alternatives, you could either install a standalone custom CSS plugin, or create a child theme.
