I see, so I forgot to load the module in the beginning. Thanks a lot Hans.
I have two more questions if you allow.

First: is there a reliable source with all modules listed? Maybe even with
an explanation what they are used for? Because the wiki doesn't mention the
database module for example. Neither is it listed at modules.contextgarden.

And second, how exactly should a user use the *.mkiv files? The way I see
it is, that comments are within those files which give information on
usage. But am I right that those in fact are like source or data files for
context and that, fully understandable, you don't have the time to code CTX
and update the manual, so that you comment in those source files on how to
use CTX?

I hope that you don't get my second question the wrong way Hans. But I am
not a native english speaker, so the sense sometimes might seem other as
meant.
What I am trying to do is to understand how you work so that me and others
understand how to use CTX as efficiently as possible.

Furthermore I can't thank you enough for sharing CTX with us. Imho it is
much more logical than LaTeX for example and if CTX was no more, I don't
think I would start using LTX anymore but would go back to Writer or even
Word instead. ;-)

I wish you all the best. Greetings, Sebastian
