Why use a table at all if the two columns are not related? Wouldn't a list like enumerate or itemize serve the same purpose without the reader wondering if there is a correlation between the columns or not? Please also note, that booktabs horizontal lines are not compatible with vertical lines (hence the small gaps in the vertical lines).

You can make a tabular containing only one row, and break lines inside a cell using either par as shown below, or newline. As leandriis warned, horizontal lines created by commands from the booktabs package aren't designed to join well with vertical lines (the author of booktabs explains in the manual of his great package that vertical lines in tables are almost always a bad typographic choice: both ugly and useless).

You can get a nicer layout by removing the renewcommandarraystretch1.5, using a dedicated row for the table header, finishing it with \midrule and suppressing the vertical rule. As per leandriis' suggestion, I also added >raggedrightarraybackslash in front of the second column specification in the tabular preamble, so that interword spacing in the second column doesn't get overstretched (this way, it is not stretched at all; as a consequence, the right side of the second column is allowed to have a “ragged” appearance, which doesn't change much here since we were ending lines/paragraphs manually anyway). The >... syntax requires the array package, hence we are adding it too.

Be careful that label should go after caption. Using arraystretch yields not very nice spaces, better using addlinespace where needed.

To prevent the material in the two columns from interacting, you could place it into separate subordinated tabular environments. In the following solution, the "outer" tabular environment consists of two l columns; the outer environment is needed solely for the toprule and bottomrule directives. The "inner" tabular environments each contain a single p column, which allows automatic line-breaking (if needed).
I would also omit the vertical divider line.

You can get a nicer layout by removing the renewcommandarraystretch1.5, using a dedicated row for the table header, finishing it with \midrule and suppressing the vertical rule. As per leandriis' suggestion, I also added >raggedrightarraybackslash in front of the second column specification in the tabular preamble, so that interword spacing in the second column doesn't get overstretched (this way, it is not stretched at all; as a consequence, the right side of the second column is allowed to have a “ragged” appearance, which doesn't change much here since we were ending lines/paragraphs manually anyway). The >... syntax requires the array package, hence we are adding it too.

You could also do that using multicols (possibly inside a minipage) and/or enumitem. There are many possibilities.
P.S.: as Mico said, if you use caption and label, be sure to put label after the associated caption, because it is caption that increases the counter (label uses the last reference set with refstepcounter)!

You might want to consider addingraggedrightarraybackslashto the secondptype column to prevent the large white spaces (e.g. between "Diverse" and "Excel-Tabellen").

Use two distinct tabular environments for the columns:

Be careful that label should go after caption. Using arraystretch yields not very nice spaces, better using addlinespace where needed.

To prevent the material in the two columns from interacting, you could place it into separate subordinated tabular environments. In the following solution, the "outer" tabular environment consists of two l columns; the outer environment is needed solely for the toprule and bottomrule directives. The "inner" tabular environments each contain a single p column, which allows automatic line-breaking (if needed).
I would also omit the vertical divider line.

Why use a table at all if the two columns are not related? Wouldn't a list like enumerate or itemize serve the same purpose without the reader wondering if there is a correlation between the columns or not? Please also note, that booktabs horizontal lines are not compatible with vertical lines (hence the small gaps in the vertical lines).

If you want to stay with a table, why not simply use two
ltype columns? The table should still fit into the textwidth of a standard article even without linebreaks in the cells.– leandriis

I want to use a table because a: a list is not as easy on the eyes, but hard to ignore inside a block of text and b: the table is supposed to be fairly small, floating somewhere so the reader can look it up if he wants to, but does not have to.
