Ok, I was able to find out, why I get a wrong y coordinate (leading zeros in Hex-String brings up this crap). Validation seems to be okay.
But my problem afterward (which I didn't mention to this point, because I thought it will solve itself when I have a correct y-coordinate) is, that if I try to save this public key as PEM, I only get -----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY----- MFowMFow-----END PUBLIC KEY----- as result. This was also my result with wrong y and failed validation. Benjamin Schäfer schrieb am Dienstag, 14.
