Please try out and look bug in this example:

Liste   = []
StringL = ["Nr.:", "NR", "Bielefeld", "Paderborn", "Lemgo"]
for i in range (10):
    StringL[1] = str(i)
    Liste.append(StringL)
    print (StringL)
    #print (Liste)
    print ()

print()
for i in range (10):
    print (Liste[i])

Output:

['Nr.:', '9', 'Bielefeld', 'Paderborn', 'Lemgo']
['Nr.:', '9', 'Bielefeld', 'Paderborn', 'Lemgo']
['Nr.:', '9', 'Bielefeld', 'Paderborn', 'Lemgo']
['Nr.:', '9', 'Bielefeld', 'Paderborn', 'Lemgo']
['Nr.:', '9', 'Bielefeld', 'Paderborn', 'Lemgo']
['Nr.:', '9', 'Bielefeld', 'Paderborn', 'Lemgo']
['Nr.:', '9', 'Bielefeld', 'Paderborn', 'Lemgo']
['Nr.:', '9', 'Bielefeld', 'Paderborn', 'Lemgo']
['Nr.:', '9', 'Bielefeld', 'Paderborn', 'Lemgo']
['Nr.:', '9', 'Bielefeld', 'Paderborn', 'Lemgo']

Hi merli, there is no bug here, you always append the same list to Liste so when modifying it you override previous values. You could make a copy of it by using `Liste.append(list(StringL))` instead of `Liste.append(StringL)` and you would get the behaviour you expect.
