Cant get my remote to work

Hey guys,
I am fairly new to Remoting. I tried it on a small class to test it out and it works.
Now I am programming a Contact Creator (Just for the fun of it and learning).
But I can not get my Remoting zu work.
The called method worked fine whenever I used apex:action elements.
What I noticed is, that the page reloads everytime I hit the "create Dummie" button.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

<script type="text/javascript">
    function createDummiesRemote() {
        var integer = document.getElementById('input').value;
        Visualforce.remoting.Manager.invokeAction(
           
            '{!$RemoteAction.MoesController.createDummies}',
            integer,
            function(result, event){
                if (event.status) {
                    alert("Dummies created");
                } else if (event.type === 'exception') {
                    alert("exception: "+event.message);
                } else {
                    alert(event.message);
                }
            },
            {escape: true}
        );
        alert(integer);
    }
    </script>
  
It does reach the alert part and gives me the correct integer, so it is triggered correctly. Just the function does not seem to work.

The called method:

@RemoteAction
    public static Boolean createDummies(Integer amount) {
        System.debug('Start');
        List<Contact> toInsert = new List<Contact>();
        for(Integer i = 1; i<=amount; i++){

        toInsert.clear();
        return True;
