[Paraview] vtk mesh display: no volume elements

Hi,

I want to inspect a mesh generated with gmsh. To this end, I have saved the mesh in vtk format and opened it with ParaView. The problem is that I don't see any volume element (or their nodes) in the display, no matter what mode (Points, Wireframe, ...) I choose. If I try "Volume", I get the message: "Cannot volume render since no point (or cell) data available."
I have attached a small example. As far as I see with a text editor, there *are* tetrahedra (elements with 4 nodes) in the file. So why doesn't ParaView show them?
I use ParaView 3.89.0-RC3 (32 bit) under Windows XP.

Thank you for a helpful hint...

Matthias
