I have a question concerning Dash and Hardware Wallets.
I read about using the Trezor for Dash with the Electrum-Dash wallet.
Do all the Dash remain stored in the local wallet and it is just using the safety features of Trezor?
Or is it possible to also use the trezor for cold storage?

thx for help

okay ....as far as  I get it the trezor is only used for the confirmation of transfer right? So I can´t use trezor as a sort of real storage at the moment?
I'm not quite sure what you mean but there is probably some confusion. There are no coins in your wallet, all "coins" are "stored" in the blockchain and you unlock them using "confirmation of transfer rights" i.e. private keys. You just either store private keys directly in software wallet (in some file) or on your hardware wallet (e.g. trezor).

thank you very much for your explanation! so basically the hardware wallet works in the same way for Dash as it works for Btc?

Sure, you can even use the same hardware wallet for both:

Connected to Bitcoin wallet --> BTC
Connected to Dash wallet --> DASH
