Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately, this is not the solution. It seems to 
me that digikam does not touch those fields

Xmp.MicrosoftPhoto.LastKeywordXMP            XmpSeq      1  Pflanzen/Blume
Xmp.digiKam.TagsList                         XmpSeq      1  Pflanzen/Blume
Xmp.lr.hierarchicalSubject                   XmpBag      1  Pflanzen|Blume

It is possible that digikam does not update all tag related fields in the 
metadata part of the image?

Best,
Wolfgang
