Yup, I know, I just wanted to point out (in a sense of "story telling") how I
got closer to the cause of this problem.

Well, talking about the output of "locale", here you go:

LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

Yes, after my last post I had a closer look and saw they are only symlinks.
However, please note there are no symlinks from
/usr/share/templates/libreoffice/de to /usr/share/templates/ooo/de, so that is
why I tried to copy (also tried symlinks) the folder, also trying different
names like de, de-DE or de_DE in order to maybe find out how LO handles
"locale"-Variables.

A real difference to your system seems to be that my systems have been updated
from 12.3 to 13.1 some time ago, however doing a clean install is not an option
(at least for now).

I will also try to remove all packages of libreoffice, try to find and remove
all possible "leftovers" and see what happens.

Greetings,
