I want to give my Raspberry PI a static ip address. I only use a network cable. I do not use WLAN. My "/etc/network/interfaces" is set to static, with address, netmas, network, broadcast and gateway specified. After a reboot the address stays the same. In my router giving it a default address is disabled. I also executed "sudo mv /var/lib/dhcp /var/lib/dhcp1" and rebooted again, still no result. Thank you for your reply.

if you are using Jessie then you need to update the dhcpcd.conf file in /etc/
At the bottom add:
interface eth0
static ip_address=<your ip address>/24
static routers=<your router ip>
static domain_name_servers=<your router ip>
save, exit, reboot
