I got some old photos to my hand. Unfortunately, I didn't have a possibility to make a direct scan of them and I could make a quick photo of them with my mobile phone.

Their quality is acceptable, but the image is distorted (= photo in the image is not rectangular). Is there any way to fix the distortion with Gimp?

I know there is a Perspective-tool but it does not do what I need. I would expect that I make a (non-rectangular) selection of image area and click "This should be rectangle".

You want the Perspective tool, but check the Direction: "corrective (backwards)" option. Then drag the 4 handles to the corners of you image, and Gimp will make that a rectangle.
