The 1 min timing (or 1½ min above 14.000 feet) - is that in Your opinion
inbound or outbound leg? Doc 8168 says "outbound no wind" - but that might
be a matter of definition, because all pro`s I asked, says Inbound...?

In the US, the timing is for the inbound leg. The timing for the outbound
leg gets adjusted to achieve the 1 minute or 1 1/2 minute inbound leg
timing:

Here is what the AIM says:

The initial outbound leg should be flown for 1 minute or
1 1/2 minutes (appropriate to altitude). Timing for
subsequent outbound legs should be adjusted, as
necessary, to achieve proper inbound leg time.


Thanks - if it is like that in the US, it surely must be in Europe as well?
