Thx for your answer, but I have a working setup with systemd-timesyncd and a Networker dispatcher script for DHCP connections.
The following website has an example:
I observed, though, that for static interface configurations this won't work, because nm doesn't have an ntp server address for the connection. So I tried to find out, what would be the best way to configure this. During my research I came across nm and netconfig config files and tried to understand, how they are playing together, and if I could make use of any setting they provide for static interface settings.
