Your access point does not appear to be broadcasting its WPA or RSN
Information Element, meaning that the access point is not using WPA.

wpa_supplicant(8535): 0: 00:15:2b:34:51:c1 ssid='Datentankstelle802.1X' wpa_ie_len=0 rsn_ie_len=0 caps=0x11
wpa_supplicant(8535):    skip - no WPA/RSN IE

Can you provide the output of 'iwlist eth0 scan' that describes the
"Datentankstelle802.1X" access point?

You should get something like this:

          Cell 04 - Address: 00:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
                    ESSID:"foobar"
                    Protocol:IEEE 802.11bg
                    Mode:Master
                    Channel:1
                    Encryption key:on

                        Pairwise Ciphers (2) : TKIP CCMP 
                        Authentication Suites (1) : PSK  
                    IE: IEEE 802.11i/WPA2 Version 1
                        Group Cipher : TKIP 
                        Pairwise Ciphers (2) : TKIP CCMP 
                        Authentication Suites (1) : PSK  
                       Preauthentication Supported

If you don't see bits for "IE:", the access point is not using WPA.
