Addressbook exists, containing adresses but does'nt show them

The addresses in my addressbook do not show up in the addressbook window. The file exists and contains all of my addresses and they also show up when I start typing a name in the To: field. How can I make the addresses vissible again in my addressbook-window?

In the addressbook window I don't see anything. It is completely empty. But when I start typing an emailaddress in the To: field I can select an address as useual. Thunderbird also knows the names of my different addressbooks. I don't know what happened because this happened overnight and I did not change anything in my addressbooks for a long time.

It is a littler difficult for me to describe this problem because English is not my native language. Therefor I added a screen-dump to make clear what I mean with completely empty. As you can see the window exists with its menubar, but contains no data about the addressbooks.
