is there a way to get the class of an objectclass of which i only know the name?

In vanilla you have to instantiate the class, at your own risk, pray that it doesn't have mandatory arguments that you don't know about, and pray that it doesn't open any device, etc.

In desiredata, you have

t_class *class_find (t_symbol *s);

which I added in february 2004, iirc.
