Hello Karsten,

Mapbender 3.0.5.3 is quite old ;) Release date: 04.02.2016 
https://doc.mapbender.org/en/versions.html

Best way is to update an existing Mapbender installation instead of 
copying an application.

Have a look: https://doc.mapbender.org/en/installation/update.html


Maybe for your workflow it could work:
* copy & import your application
* open map-Element and check the selected layersets -> save it
* open layertree -> save it
-> we had some changed concerning layersets, so maybe the element has to 
save the new configuration.
