Why does the "../@date" in the while clause not contain (at
least it seems so) anything?

You haven't shown us your XML source, but my guess is that you are imagining
that ../@date selects the same thing inside the predicate as it would select
outside the predicate. In fact the context node changes inside the
predicate. Perhaps you want


test="$veranstaltungen[@year=current()/../@date]

Your solution worked! Thank you very much.
