I removed the jessie tor package now and installed the version from the 
torproject repo which is 0.2.8.9.
There was alot of things done regarding systemd in that new version it 
seems. They added sd-notify and
a service file for instantiated services. I am using tor at default.service 
and everything works now.

So it propably was my own service file which did not all the things 
needed to set up tor for startup.
For example this ExecStartPre command: /usr/bin/install -Z -m 02755 -o 
debian-tor -g debian-tor -d /var/run/tor
and also starting tor with parameter --defaults-torrc 
/usr/share/tor/tor-service-defaults-torrc.

Thanks everybody
