Ok, so this would be the DAV groupware resources in this case

Define "offline", please.
In the described case, I'm not completely offline, since I'm connected via VPN over the iternet
with my company network. Still, I can not reach the owncloud server in my local network here at home due to the VPN tunnel.
Or I had it the other way round: I use the Laptop inside the office network when I'm physically working
in the office location and not at home, where I'm also connected to the internet but I have no access to my
owncloud server at home.
Is this situation "offline" for the DAV resource and will it store it in the change recorded
(Note: I have no knowledge yet how the change recorder thingy works or what it is at all)

ok, so this involves contacting the owncloud server, which does not work now.
Will this mean, the creation will be put into the change recorder queue and should be retried later ?

yes, that seems so.
I assume this is a bug in the DAV resource then ?
checking very briefly the code, DavGroupwareResource::onItemAddedFinished() just does cancelTask() and returns in case of an error.
(I do hope that I get an error in this situation)
But then, changeCommitted() is not called. Shall the entry then somehow stay in the change recorders queue ?
(Where is that change recorder queue technically stored ? local RAM, the Akonadi DB, can I have a look what's
inside that queue ?)

How can I move an event in korganizer from one collection into another one
(something I was looking for already) ?
The "calendar" combo box is always greyed out.
