This works:

(add-hook 'TeX-mode-hook
          ;; Super-Tab
          (lambda ()
            ;; Preview-LaTeX
            (TeX-source-specials-mode 1)
            (local-set-key "\C-i" 'th-complete-or-indent)
            ;; PDFs per default mit kpdf öffnen
            (add-to-list 'TeX-output-view-style
                         '("^pdf$" "." "kpdf %o"))
            ;; DVIs per default mit kdvi öffnen
            (add-to-list 'TeX-output-view-style
                         '("^dvi$" "." "kdvi %o"))))

So the option I needed was: TeX-output-view-style
