Evening, Markus!
Always good to hear from you!

You have to adjust the cable at the caliper. It is the gross adjustment. The cable threads through a little hole in a bolt on one side of the caliper. Loosen the nut, pull some cable through, tighten it back up. The knurled ends at the brake handle and the caliper are the fine adjustments.

 

Side pull, looks like this
