So Im trying to upgrade an EE site and when I follow the instructions... All I get is a black white page. No error messages, nothing.
Interesting when I enable debug=1 in index.php, I do see this error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STATIC, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or '$' in /var/www/vhosts/default/htdocs/run/EllisLab/ExpressionEngine/Core/Autoloader.php on line 46
Any ideas or hints really appreciated.
I dont have any special modules or plugins.

The error points you to line 46 of the Autoloader.php file. That line of code is:
if ( ! isset(static::$instance))
This line of code will only run in PHP 5.3.0 or newer.
ExpressionEngine 2.9 requires PHP 5.3.10 or newer and you're getting the error because your PHP version is older than this.
