On the GPSdata page the Horizuontal Accuracy is always bigger then the Vertical Accuracy. Maybe they are exchanged? I thought, normaly the Vertical Accuracy is about factor 1.7 to 1.8 of the horizontal?
Displayexample:

Hor: 16.03, Vert: 8.57

Strange!
It was a multipath error! First when i watched the accuracy sitting on the balcony. The horizontal acc was ~ 16 meters, the vertical was ~9 meters. Thinking there must be anything wrong, i walked outside to get a free view and then watched the accuracy: Horizontal was 5.23m, vertical was 11.21m.
Back to balcony i moved 2 meters to the left from the position before: hor was smaller than vert.
On the place where the inverted accuracy was displayed, i find 2 sats on the GPS page, that are possitioned in back of the house.
So it seems to be the result of an multipath error.

Now my GPS world is alright again :)
