Thank you for that information.
While trying to add a nameserver form ours to the registry, I found
out that they still exist. There is no list where I can see if they
are registered or not.
But I'm sure that I never registered the nameserver by myself in that
registry. Im only sure, that I created the nameservers as we started
our business, but that was all I did.

That sounds nice ;) So I think if the nameservers are registered
and the domain registration works well, its good as it is.
