Problems with first installation (endless redirect)

Hello! :)

I try to install Hubzilla on a server hosted by the German provider uberspace using a subdomain.

I am using this installation (and sources from that repository):
#^https://framagit.org/hubzilla/core/blob/master/install/INSTALL.txt

At the moment I am at point 7, the installation check. Everything works fine except of the mod_rewrite check. I did not change anything yet, the .htaccess is untouched still.

Log says:

Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary.

I tested the url used directly:
https://sub.domain.de/setup/testrewrite
produces that endless redirect.

But
https://sub.domain.de/index.php?q=setup/testrewrite
reports "ok".

So there is something wrong / not working with the rewrite rules in the .htaccess file. Does anybody has a hint for me, where to look at? It sure is an apache server and mod_rewrite is enabled. I have other services on the server using similar technics..
