Hi,
my 2ct are to have a look into the architecture. Is the corresponding 
Mapbender service allowed to access the internet? You are using 
wms1.ccgis.de as the WFS-T so your Mapbender scripts must be allowed 
into the internet, maybe you have to configure a proxy in mapbender.conf 
to be able to do this. Then we could also check whether our WFS modules 
are all correctly implemented to use these proxy settings.

The main problem is that there are only very few WFS-T out there and 
practically not one of them is open to write back, not even 
OpenStreetMap operates one although they have a clear focus on free data.

Best regards,
Arnulf.
