Now I am another one of “these people” I guess:  
Did the setup as described on the Klipper page (like…5 times now or so).  
My Board corresponds to the board with first “GND” and then “VCC”  
Running on a Raspi 4b and ACCELEROMETER\_QUERY leads to varying adresses each time but never e5:

CommandError: Invalid adxl345 id (got 3c vs e5)

So far I’ve tried: no GND, 5V and 3.3V, reinstalling everything. The adxl345spi does give non-zero values, as opposed to all zeroes when the ADXL is not connected  
time = 0.000, x = 109.855, y = -36.289, z = -73.574  
time = 0.200, x = -73.574, y = 109.855, z = -36.289  
time = 0.400, x = 109.855, y = -36.289, z = -73.574  
time = 0.601, x = -73.574, y = 109.855, z = -36.289

Also the  
“gpioinfo”  
does not display any connections where I actually wired SD0 and SDA

Solution: using a new cable. Ethernet (not Cat5) but still did the trick
