In gnome shell, I can resize windows to fill one half of the screen size by dragging them at the respective border (left/right), as it's also possible e.g. in KDE. But in KDE, I can also resize the window to a quarter of the screen size by dragging them to near the upper or lower end of a screen border, which is really convenient to place two terminal windows above each other.
Is there any way to get this working in gnome shell? I wouldn't mind if it were possible with shortcuts instead of active borders, I just want a convenient way to quickly arrange several windows (terminal/gvim).

There may be an extension for it on extensions.gnome.org

Yes, there is an extension that does that: put windows.

That's exactly why I opened this thread, because there MAY BE one which I couldn't find...

Awesome, that's exactly what I was looking for!
Shortcut are actually better then a solution just extending the "drag-to-window-border" feature gnome shell already has because I move between workspaces using keyboard shortcuts anyway. Plus when I most need this tiling feature (which is when opening a couple of terminal and gvim windows) I open the windows from command line anyway, so moving them to the right place without leaving the keyboard is the best solution.
For completeness:
The extension's in the AUR and installed with:
$ yaourt -S gnome-shell-extension-put-window-git
The keyboard shortcuts can easily be configured in a settings window opened with:
$ gnome-shell-extension-prefs putWindow@clemens.lab21.org
