Question

So i am trying get 2 div-containers which both should contain centered text (Both x- and y-axis).

Thanks to Google and stackoverflow, i stumbled over a few workarounds which play with vertical-align etc. But nothing seems to work.

#right-menu {
    position: absolute ;
    right: 0% ;
    top: 0% ;
    height: 100% ;
    width: 5% ;
    text-align:  center ;
    background: #ededed ;
        display: table-cell;

vertical-align: middle ;

Here is a fiddle:

Answer 1

Vertical-align:middle property is not used with position:absolute; if you are using vertical-align:middle then try this layout modified layout
