What wallet did he use to make the transaction? I would usually suggest the fee was not the recommended one but "
Transaktionsgebühr: -0.00051881 BTC" this fee seems enough for it to not get stuck for 3 days.... strange.

Oh dear. It's not about what fee he sent, it's about what fee per byte he sent. The current recommended fee is 240 satoshi/byte and for the median transaction size of 226 bytes this results in a fee of 54,240 satoshi.

Sure, that makes 0.00051881 (51,880 satoshi) sound okay at first, but this is an exceptionally large transaction. It's extremely unusual for a transaction to be that large, and that makes the fee per byte so low that it won't go through for a very long time if at all.

There could be any number of reasons for that, like the OP accepting huge amounts of dust inputs for that payment.
