try doing a tcpdump -i pfsync0

you should see traffic if not make sure the iface shows something like
this in a ifconfig

pfsync0: flags=41<UP,RUNNING> mtu 1348
        pfsync: syncdev: em1 syncpeer: 192.168.10.3 maxupd: 128


also
tcpdump -n -e -ttt -i pflog0
can show hints about where your rules are obeying you without consulting the do_what_I_mean bit.

I just set up 2 redundant firewalls that use CARP / pfsync. I ran into the
fact that everything works fine but when shutting down the MASTER, the
BACKUP doesn't take over the states of the connections. Is that intended or did I do something wrong? I configured my systems exactly the way the man
pages and tutorials told me and I'm not using ifstated.


Something is wrong. I've setup such a environment and it works, state passes between the firewalls. If state is not passing then something is wrong with the configuration.

Search the archives of this list and/or the pf list.

What I hoped is that even the whole master can fail without being noticed
for the existing sessions.
