Does somebody know where you can find the relative orbit number of a Sentinel 1 image? I know it should be somewhere in the metadata (the xml-file), but I can't find it.

You actually can find the relative orbit number of sentinel-1 image from the filename by deriving absolute orbit number provided in the name.
The formula are:
Sentinel-1A Relative Orbit Number = mod (Absolute Orbit Number orbit - 73, 175) + 1
Sentinel-1B Relative Orbit Number = mod (Absolute Orbit Number orbit - 27, 175) + 1
