for the next two weeks i won't be able to train with fitness-machines. What are the best excercises to train (with own weight)? I want to cover more or less the main parts of the body: triceps/bicepcs, stomach, back, leggs, shoulders

Bodyweight exercisese are pretty limited but here are some good ones:
Push ups (chest, triceps & shoulders)
1.1. Variations of Incline / Decline push ups.
Oh, and try this challenge: Bring Sally Up Video (Bring sally up = Push Up | Bring Sally Down = Stay pressed down)
Chin ups (biceps & back)
- Pull ups (back)
- Chair dips (triceps)
- Squats (legs)
- Lunges (legs)
- Crunches (abdominals)
- Burpees (full body)
If you want more suggestions, I found this, maybe it could help you out.

Bring Sally up, sounds hard but i'll try it. You also know one excercise for shoulders/breast?– user1450Commented Jul 18, 2013 at 9:07

@user1450 Bring Sally Up will destroy your chest and shoulders. Your triceps will be sore as well.– AlexCommented Jul 18, 2013 at 11:07
