Consider this example:

documentclass{article}                                                                                                                                                                                       

begin{document}

begin{tabular}{ p{0.1textwidth}l }

  gdgd asfsdf akku  & 5  \

end{tabular}

end{document}

How can I centre the contents of cell 01 vertically?

Here are three different possible solutions:

documentclass{article}

usepackage{array}    % Only needed for the first example.

usepackage{multirow} % Only needed for the third example.

begin{document}



Using the vertically centered m type column: 



begin{tabular}{ m{0.1textwidth}l }

  gdgd asfsdf akku  & 5  \

end{tabular}



bigskip



Using three different rows for the text in the first column:



begin{tabular}{ p{0.1textwidth}l }

  gdgd\

  asfsdf   & 5\

  akku   \

end{tabular}



bigskip



Using multirow:



begin{tabular}{ p{0.1textwidth}l }

  gdgd asfsdf akku  & multirow{3}{*}{5}  \

end{tabular}

end{document}

You can use multirow with a single cell, but you have to count the number of lines in this cell, on order to vertically centre its contents. Note that you can use decimal numbers to fine-tune the placement.

Alternatively, use the m{...} column type for the left column (requires loading array):

documentclass{article}

usepackage{array}

usepackage{multirow}



begin{document}



begin{tabular}{m{0.1textwidth}l }

  gdgd asfsdf akku & 5 \

end{tabular}

qquad

begin{tabular}{p{0.1textwidth}l }

  gdgd asfsdf akku & multirow{3}{*}{5}\

end{tabular}



end{document} 

A possible solution would be using the multirow package (But it requires you to split cell on the left into three cells and putting the text of the right cell into a multirow-cell that spans over three rows).
A working example would be:

documentclass{article}                                                                     usepackage{multirow}                                                                                                

begin{document}

begin{tabular}{ p{0.1textwidth}l }

  gdgd & multirow{3}{*}{5} \ 

  asfsdf \ 

  akku \

end{tabular}

end{document}

A little explanation on the code:

gdgd & multirow{3}{*}{5} \

Inserts gdgd as the first entry of the first row and an multirow-cell that spans over three rows (the first parameter) inherits the width of the original column (second parameter set as *) and contains the text "5" (last parameter). \ indicates the linebreak

asfsdf \ 

Inserts asfsdf into the first entry of the second line. Another entry in this line is not necessary because of the multirow-cell above.
