Hi, 

ok - answering myself: 

In the Postgis "Log Messages Panel" I get a hint: 

--------------------- 

[ERROR: unsupported XML feature 

DETAIL: This functionality requires the server to be built with libxml
support. 

HINT: You need to rebuild PostgreSQL using --with-libxml. 

] 

----------------------------------------- 

So I need to recompile my PG Server and add support for libxml.
