Codeigniter - Static Pages tutorial doesn't work

I have the following files:

routes.php 

$route['default_controller'] = "first";
$route['404_override'] = '';
$route['page/(:any)'] = 'page/view/$1';

page.php 

<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Page extends CI_Controller {

    public function index() {       
        $this->load->view('first');
    }

    public function view($page = 'first') {

        if ( ! file_exists('application/views/pages/'.$page.'.php'))
            // Whoops, we don't have a page for that!
            show_404()
        }
        $this->load->view('pages/'.$page);
    }
}
?>

impressum.php (in views/pages/impressum.php) 

<p>Hello</p>

Now when I load http://xxxx.de/page/impressum it shows me just a blank page. When I load www.xxxx.de it shows me the "first" page / default page.
It doesn't even load the "first" page when I try to load: www.xxx.de/page/

Just don't know where I have the error/mistake.

My folder structure is:
http://d.pr/i/vYgw

An help is really appreciated. Thanks.

you need to check $page in view method of Page Controller as you are passing any in your route.php file

$route['page/(:any)'] = 'page/view/$1';

www.xxx.de/page/ will pass an empty string or variable to view method you can check it like 

if(!strlen($page)){
  $page = "first";
}

better way to use uri class to get page 

public function view() {
        $page = $this->uri->segment(2, 'first');

        if ( ! file_exists('application/views/pages/'.$page.'.php')){
            // Whoops, we don't have a page for that!
            show_404()
        }
        $this->load->view('pages/'.$page);
    }

if no segment found it will pass first as default
