Hello Kai,

During the start up of Kontact you can get messages like "do you know 
that    "
One of those messages states that "your Calendar can display birthdays 
from your addressbook" . To activate this add the corresponding birthday 
calendar from the calendar manager.

I have not done it myself since my birthdays and anniversaries are 
already displayed in my calendar, but hopefullly this tip helps


Regards / Groeten,
