OK - that is working now.

Isn't the buffer from which I am tangling the org buffer, and not the result
from the tangling? (see below for further remarks.

Not here -

Emacs and org-mode version:

GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.1)
Org-mode version 6.36trans (release_6.36.603.g227b)

1) if no R process is running, I get the following message:
ess-start-process-specific: No ESS processes running; not yet implemented to
start (Initial,nil)
No problem 0 I can start an R process manually.

2) when an R session is running, I get the following error message from ESS:
Errors: Use C-c ` to find error.
Symbol's function definition is void: with-temp-filebuffer

and from ESS:

Error in source("/home/rkrug/tmp/R.org") :
  /home/rkrug/tmp/R.org:1:1: unexpected '^'
1: **

it seems to submit the org file (the buffer is saved as R.org) to R.

So buffer-file-name should actually be replaced with the name from the file
name resulting from the tangling, in the easiest case (which would be fine
with me) the org buffer name with .org replaced with .R.
So I did the following (my firs elisp code!):

  (add-hook 'org-babel-post-tangle-hook
            (lambda () (ess-load-file (replace-regexp-in-string ".org" ".R"
buffer-file-name))))

and it is working - except that I still get the Symbol's function definition
is void: with-temp-filebuffer , but it does not seem to do anything.

Thanks a lot,

Rainer
