Sorry for annoying you. it seems I overlooked this from the docs:

"That is, a large partitioned database should have many more partitions than 
documents in any single partition."

I guess this should answer my question but it also confuses me ;-)

Imagine we have e.g. 100.000 docs "of the same type" within a single partition 
and we're far away from having 100.000 partitions and more across the database.
Could this be a hint that our docs are too complex and should rather splittet 
into smaller docs?

Or does partitioning only makes sense in really big databases which contains 
millions of docs of thousands of different types?

Thanks again!
Olaf
