I found out that I blew up the led-strip.
When I connected another one (also WS2813) it worked.

To be safe I also connected another adapter purely used for the led-strip.
I am hesitant to reconnect the led-strip to the 5v pin of the Rpi.
Could there be a reason that connecting the 5v Rpi pin direcly to the led-strip somehow destroys the strip?
Maybe a voltage peak at boot?
