    although in several posts it is mentioned that your ISP manages the PTR records for your IP, ISPConfig does generate a reverse zone file for bind.

    However the format is

    Code:
      GNU nano 1.3.12                          File: reverse_zone.in-addr.arpa.master
    
    $TTL        86400
    @               IN      SOA     {SERVER_BIND_NS1_DEFAULT}. hostmaster.{SERVER_DOMAIN}. (
                                    {SERIAL}       ; serial, todays date + todays serial #
                                    28800   ; Refresh
                                    7200    ; Retry
                                    604800  ; Expire
                                    86400)  ; Minimum TTL
                            NS      {SERVER_BIND_NS1_DEFAULT}.
                            NS      {SERVER_BIND_NS2_DEFAULT}.
    <!-- BEGIN DYNAMIC BLOCK: reverse_records -->
    {IP_ENDE}       PTR     {DNS_SOA}.
    <!-- END DYNAMIC BLOCK: reverse_records -->
    ;;;; MAKE MANUAL ENTRIES BELOW THIS LINE! ;;;;
    in order to correctly resolve, my ISP recommended to add IN like

    Code:
    {IP_ENDE}     IN       PTR     {DNS_SOA}.
    would that make sense?

    I guess you mix up the domain PTR records and the IP reverse records. The IP reverse records can only managed by your ISP because you are normally not authoritive for a IP, the domain PTR records where managed by ISPConfig automatically.
