In my current document there are some chapters that have to be added with the \chapter*-command because I don't want them to be real chapters (no entry in toc, no chapter-number, ...). This works fine.

But in my header I want the chapter-name to be displayed. I'm using fancyheaders and \leftmark:

\fancyhead[RO,LE]{\leftmark}

The problem is, that for chapters added with the \chapter*-command, \leftmark is not updated and so the header still displays the chapter-name of the previous chapter.

Therefore I either need to force \chapter* to automatically update \leftmark, or I switch to the \chapter-command but prevent the other stuff that comes along (entry in toc, ...). but I don't know how! Any ideas?
