Can someone explain to me why "nothing\n" and "kFilterDepthenv\n" are printed
here?

this is the code:
if kbike == 0 then
   kFilterDepthenv  =   1
prints "kFilterDepthenv\n"
else
prints "nothing\n"
endif

and in the output window i read:
.....
kFilterDepthenv
nothing
.....

I am aware that i should use "printks "nothing\n", 0 because of the k-rate
condition etc. but still why are both printed? 
The if...then statement is executed whether the value of kbike is 1 or 0.
Why does this if...then just not skip the whole code section if kbike is not
0?

because the if-else is only active at k-rate and prints is running at i-time.

yes, very true.
k-rate is time, while i-rate exists is a statement and has nothing to do
with time. Somewhere along the line i was thinking that i-rate was the first
k-rate - and it is not! 

When Csound runs, it first sets the i-rate stuff and then k-rate (= time)
starts. This is why "prints", well, prints.

Thanks for helping me to reset my thoughts!
