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.
