Thank you Paolo, I wasn't initially sure that it was really a RAM problem, because I tried reducing mixing_ndim but this didn't have any impact on the "Estimated total dynamical RAM." I am sorry that this seemed thoughtless.
I tried again with K_POINTS gamma - it is running now without any problems so far!
