I am sure I was logged in with the schluep account.

I don't know anymore why I had two accounts. I almost never used the 
schluep-ethz one.  I have just merged both accounts. Thank you for the 
hint. But the problem remains: I cannot change the owner.

No, I just wanted to say, that this function used to work 5 moths ago.
