I will try it:

scholl=# \timing
Timing is on.
scholl=# select count(1) from bde_meldungen ;
count
---------
1813210
(1 row)

Time: 1925.471 ms
scholl=*# select count(1) from bde_meldungen where datum = current_date-'1day'::interval;
count
-------
2694
(1 row)

Time: 5.670 ms

Btw: yes, the table has more rows than the table from the origin poster
and the count(1) is much faster. Perhaps he should show us an 'explain
analyse'. My guess: many dead tuples.
