Hello,
I have a collection of prints I scanned with my CanoScan and produced JPGs. I wanted to document them using EXIFtool GUI. But I do get an error message:
Error: Can't read ExifIFD data - Abzug_0017.jpg
If I load the image into PhotoShop and edit the metadata there, it works fine.
What is the reason for this error message? Is there a way to repair this?

Odds are that the EXIF data is corrupted. You can try the second command in FAQ #20 (https://exiftool.org/faq.html#Q20), which only rewrites the EXIF data, but some of the metadata may be lost.
Great! Repairing the metadata helped.
Many thanks and best wishes

You can look at this with the -htmlDump feature if you want to see exactly what is happening.
