Does anybody know, if there is a ventilation pipe, and if there is one, where can I find it?
Many thanks.

Although the fuel tank is "vented"...it is not expelled to the exterior of the vehicle...modern technology and universal emission laws (OBD II) prevents that from happening.
Fumes generated from fuel are accumulated, then pumped back into the engine to be burned (usually when idling).
You'll find the fuel tank "venting" hoses and expansion tank in this diagram from realoem.com:

And I believe #16 (and possibly #17, too...tubing & outlet pipe)...that are attached to the fuel filler neck (#15) which allows air into the neck and prevents a vacuum...note that if you purchase #15...based on the bracket in the diagram...#15 comes with #16 & #17:
