After some updates (I did not test it on every update) the bug has gone
on 12.7.2021, evolution now starts and works fine.

Please close the Bug ;)!

I just tested the behaviour again under wayland: Because of trouble
with another programm I switched these days to Gnome under XOrg
and have forgotten this. Here Evolution runs fine. In Wayland I have
the same bug as before, segfault on start.

So the bug is half alive :(
