You are still using points for font sizing. Points are for printing.
Change font size to 100% so visitors can read it at their chosen
size.

You have too much pixel-exact sizing as well. Research using em
units, please. If you do this, you likely won't have the perceived
problem you asked about.

what about the container with the left image #introduction I need the
container as big as the background image. I think this must be fixed,
must'n it?

Try this: view your page in Firefox, and press Control-Plus twice.

Not pretty. Because of the low contrast of your text, I had to increase
its size to read it. And then your design falls apart.

Why don't you try using just one background image, and place it in body,
instead of trying to get pixel-perfect precision with adjacent images in
containers? Then remove the height from #introduction, and use just a
wee bit of bottom padding instead. In em units.

Again, please look into sizing font with: 100% and containers with em
units. Points (pt) are for print stylesheets.
