Okay, I've read the articles, but somehow I don't know where to start. I
have to use the public key, generated out of x and y, algorith brainpool,
to encrypt a JWT. The JWT is generated with the cpp-jwt library and now I
really don't know what to do. How can I "convert" the public key I got

In the end it could be broke down to: I want to encrypt a std::string (the
JSON Web Token) with the public key I created out of x and y with crypto++.
I will take a look into OpenSSL and what I could do with that, but this
project seems to get out of hand.
