SOLVED
Heureka, yes he did it. Solved the problem, though UEFI is very nasty, no matter what OEM comes along with it. The crucial point was to format the usb-device in FAT16, don't you ask me why. (I am aware of the limits of FAT16 and the FAT32). But after I put on that usb-stick in the FAT16 format, I could finally run the net-installation, with Legacy + UEFI sequence. It gave me the chance to crash out the former ubuntu-partition and the rest I guess you know. Truly, one could operate with the CD, but honestly I have not used a CD for at least six years. But the headline still remains, because I was using a very old usb-stick, one with 1GB, this piece must be at least ten years old.

BUGS
You can't resize FAT32 partition lesser than 512Mb because Windows(R) doesn't work properly with small FAT32 file system. Use FAT16.
