just for future problems like this, you can use named-checkzone to check
your zone files for errors.  in this case this is what it gives which
tells you where the problem is as Mark pointed out:

nemesis# named-checkzone umgehauen.de test.zone

dns_master_load: test.zone:3: SOA record not at top of zone (umgehauen.de.umgehauen.de)
zone umgehauen.de/IN: loading master file test.zone: not at top of zone
