This is because the timestamp can't be understood by Feeder (actually Gofeed)

You could ask the site to fix their feed and have their timestamps ISO-formatted.

So what does this line in rss page source mean: <rss xmlns:cf="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/rss/core/2005" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" version="2.0" xmlns:epolsax="https://www.polizei.sachsen.de">

Seems to me that they use some common program from microsoft to create the feed. Wouldn't it be feasible to somehow manipulate the pubdate in order to get it in ISO format? Maybe it's not the only feed that is create with that microsoft api..

that's not what generates the feed. That's extra namespaces used to add metadata to the feed.

And extra dates can be added, but that should be done in the GoFeed project I linked above.
