Anything with current circulating is a circuit, hence the name :)
I have attached a schematic of the minimum use of an 7805 that you ca get away with.
Mind you, the excess voltage means that you need a heatsink.
A 10 Ohm 2W resistor between the 12V and the input of the 7805 will gobble up some of the excess power.
If you want to raise the voltage a little, a signal diode (1N4148 or 1N914) in the ground lead of the 7805 (but the caps need to go to ground directly) will raise it to ~5.7V.

Thanks a lot for the schematic. So in American terms I need a 0.22uf non polarized capacitor between input and ground and a polarized capacitor between output and ground? I'm unfamiliar with that abbreviation 'ut'. Could you clarify? Sorry for my ignorance. Im embarrassed :P

Seems to be a typo. The cap value would be in uF (microFarads).
220nF = 0.22uF. Both are now used in the US.
This would typically be a ceramic cap.
No need to be embarrassed. Asking questions to get a clarified answer is a good thing.

Yes.

Perhaps it didn't write it properly to the bitmap, but it was supposed to read 22F+ (plus sign) meaning 22µF or larger (up to about 50µF, whatever might be around).

This is the best type, due to the low ESR, but I think it's more common to get polyester caps in that value (from hobbyist shops). That would work fine as well.
