Joomla Server Error 500 after own template installation

Question

I made a template which works perfectly fine locally, but when I install it on a server and set it to default, I get a server error 500. All other (default) templates seem to be working fine, though... Any ideas?

You may want to check your server error log to see if there is anything more detailed.

500 is a generic error (if no other information is provied by Joomla!).
