Answers.Text: Wow, that was fast... Thank you for your answer. It is as you mentioned all public groups are listed, but for this specific profile I need to offer only 2 specific out of 8 public groups. But may be I an doing it wrong at all. 
  
  The intention is that an interested party may request a specific document (curriculum), and by local law we need the double opt-in provided by the group/newsgroup functionality to send this information out.

Body: <p>I try to set up a user registration form (for the Front End) using a profile. Within the profile the groups should be listed, but just selected ones, not all. I could not find a switch for this.  Is this generally possible just to define the groups to be listed?
  Thank you for your hints.</p>

  Visibility: Public Pages will be listed; Check your group Admin screen at:
  civicrm/group?reset=1
  
  If you're also seeing Groups in your Profile select that are listed as Visibility: User and User Admin Only - do let us know. 
  Added: if you don't want all your Groups that are configured Public Pages to be listed then try this:
  
  create a custom field 
  add the custom field to the profile
  create a smart group - that has your custom field in the search criteria
