I want to hide the values of the part on the board. For example on resistors it should display the part id (R1) but not the value (100 Ohm) of it.

Is this possible without redesigning (copy) the components and remove {{VALUE}} ?

yes, in the layers-menu you can hide the “values top” (or bottom if necessary).  
In LibrePCB 2.1:

It depends on what you want exactly:

- To just hide it **in the editor** (but still keep the actual text objects), see the answer of @sasmus.
- If you don’t want any values to appear **on the silkscreen** , deselect the top/bottom values in the Board Setup dialog:

However, this is actually the default setting so I suspect it’s not what you’re looking for.
- If you want to remove individual text objects completely, just select them and press the Delete key 😉 They can be restored with a right click on the device and choose _Reset All Texts_.
- To delete **all** value texts, temporarily hide all layers except Values Top/Bottom, select all text objects and delete them.
