Thx for the hint. Also I found out that a metadata backup is created on a every command in /etc/lvm/archives. The lv has been recovered, but it looks like the first xxx bytes of the lv have changed. Luks doesn't accept it as luks partition anymore and so I can't mount the encrypted partition anymore. Data lost.... Backup is always a good idea...
