Hi Andreas, 

Are you using web2lead form in your website?

if yes then I don't see Lead owner field as available field to use in web2lead form I would recomment
  1. Create picklist field on lead and use that field in webtolead form and based on that field input use assignment rule to change the owner.
  2. Create picklist field on lead and create trigger (before Insert) on lead and based on this field input find that user from your org using soql and get its userId assign it to owner lookup field.

Thanks! You just confirmed what I was thinking from the beginning. I ll create a custom field and create assignment rules based on that.
