I tried that. I'm not posting all the outcomes of all the commands here, 
because it didn''t change the situation :-(. So no success ...

Thnx :-). That saves me some time!

Now, I changed my wireless security to unsecure, and I was able to get this:

=> with this configuration, the bridge works!
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto br0
iface br0 inet dhcp
bridge_ports eth1
bridge-fd 0

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet manual
wireless-essid ##SSID##

But, when I add eth0 to bridge_ports, it doesn't work any longer

So, maybe, we should try to focus why it doesn't work without security. 
If that works, we could check the WPA side. But I think we first need 
the bridge running in a "easy" situation, with no security
