Hi there
we mostly use featured images from artists on our events so we have to place the copyright in the caption… but if i fill out the caption in the WordPress Mediathek the Event picture still shows no caption?!

Yes that’s correct and you can add captions to featured images with a plugin like this one:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/featured-image-caption/

In that case your other option is you fix your WordPress theme by following these steps:
1) Open the theme’s single.php file
2) Look for code that resembles this:
<?php the_post_thumbnail('post-image'); ?>
3) Add the following after the post thumbnail code:
<?php if ( !empty(get_post(get_post_thumbnail_id())->post_excerpt) ) : ?>
<div class="media-caption-container">
<p class="media-caption">
<?php echo get_post(get_post_thumbnail_id())->post_excerpt; ?>
</p>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
4) You can avoid losing your changes in the event of a theme update by putting your modified templates into a WordPress a child theme.
