Dear Ben, thanks alot! Installing these packages from backports (firmware-misc-nonfree, firmware-intel-sound, firmware-iwlwifi, xserver-xorg-video-intel and the linux headers+image 4.5.0-0) did the trick with Jessie.
I had some minor graphical problems like the black shadow above the controlbar at the bottom not recovering after a dialogue opened and closed again. And some software seemed to be buggy with new versions in stretch so I tried again to upgrade/dist-upgrade into testing after maken a safety image of root. At first it failed to start kwin (fatal error - same like everytime before) but finally I found out that the package task-kde-desktop was not installed (only task-desktop task-german-desktop and task-german-kde-desktop) Installing it did the trick and resulted in a working Stretch. I am thinking wether the not installed task-kde-desktop should be filed as a bug as well (I used the netinst iso). But I don't know how to file a bug for that iso. Thanks again!
