At least to my (limited) understanding,... it seemed logical that it would
be stronger.
Imagine a quick factorising algorithm would be found,... RSA would be
broken, but ElGamal not automatically,... (at least I've never heard about,
that the factorisation problem can be transformed into the discrete
logarithm problem).

It can. If there is a fast factoring algorithm, then there is also a fast 
discrete log algorithm.
