The AT firmware can be downloaded from this page:

When you are flashing firmware ensure that GPIO-0 is pulled low for flash mode and left floating for normal operation. I.e. disconnect power, pull GPIO-0 LOW, connect power and flash firmware. For normal operation disconnect power, ensure that GPIO-0 is not low and power up.

If you are comfortable with the command line then I would recommend esptool for flashing:

I will give esptool a try! Quick question about the baud rate. Can I set that myself or do I have to match the baud rate on the chip (which I don't know :/ ).

No need to set the baudrate when flashing, for normal operation the baud rate will be either 9600 or 115200 for the AT firmware. Good luck
