Hi Olaf, I think the Help page for Dates https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Dates (if you scroll through completely) has some decent examples for you and lots of good information. But perhaps that page is still missing better documentation to help you form your queries? I think that might be the case.
Take a look and let us know what you think. Then the community can add some better examples, or you can!
