That was the hint I needed, I'll answer here and not to your German text:

And when I change to 10 mm for instance, I can clearly see the bleed.
Didn't know this setting, thanks for pointing me to it!

Ok, and another workaround could be to insert the same picture twice,
one showing the part for the left and one for the right page. Shouldn't
we be able to adjust their X and Y coordinates fine enough to ensure the
motive looks good when stretching over two pages? The only uncertainty
would seem to know how many mm the printer really cuts away and how
"deep" the middle of the picture will dive in between the two sheets of
paper.
Setting the displayed gap back to 0 might help visualize the result. I
will experiment with it...
