I can't find a way to write this in Latex. Any hints where to start?

Since the other cases questions ask some specific questions about it, here's a working example:

\documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \begin{document} \[ g(n) = \begin{cases} \frac{2}{3}n & \text{wenn } n \equiv 0 \mod 3,\\ \frac{4}{3}n + \frac{1}{3} & \text{wenn } n \equiv 1 \mod 3,\\ \frac{4}{3}n - \frac{1}{3} & \text{wenn } n \equiv 2 \mod 3. \end{cases} \] \end{document} 

The mathmode documentation is extremely helpful for answering these sorts of questions. You can find it on your system using texdoc or its equivalent.
