| the comes this error-message
| Error: Service check command 'check_load -w WLOAD1,WLOAD5,WLOAD15 -c
| CLOAD1,CLOAD5,CLOAD15' specified in service 'check_load' for host '
| test.domain.de' not defined anywhere!

In your service definition you need exclamation marks (!) to tell Nagios
to parse out what the command is and the arguments.  You are also
confusing the arguments in general.  So, it should read...

  check_load!-w 0,1,2!-c 2,3,4

...as in...

  check_load!ARG1!ARG2

Check the documentation again as this is spelled out.
