I've just received an alternative number from a friend. The guy from the call center thought I was calling through 0049 (0) 69 260 90 44 00 (the official German call center). However, I was not calling that number. When I called the official number the call was cancelled directly.
He wanted to forward those issues. It might be that their call center is misconfigured.
After speaking with the support, things worked out as expected: I will get a refund, although it might take 2 months (!) until the money is back. The refund is for free / without any fees.
