TRLD: New CalDav (posteo.de) calendar created, all entries in default personal deleted

Existing device accounts before adding Posteo account:

Default personal calendar
Default Birthday calendar
Google Calendar (2-way)
Facebook Calendar

I added a Posteo calendar via "Add account -> CalDAV and CardDAV" to my existing device accounts (followed this how-to).

After a sync to the new device calendar, called "posteo", all my existing entries from "Default personal calendar" were deleted.

How do I get my calendar entries back? And why did this happend? I did not touch my personal calendar at all.

All entries are left intact in /home/nemo/.local/share/system/privileged/Calendar/mkcal/db. But every entry has a filled DateDeleted (unix time there equals creation date of the new posteo calendar).

Confusing.

The link you mention is about connecting an already existing posteo calendar to your jolla - not about adding another calendar to posteo.
It does not overwrite any other, foreign calendar, and can only sync using the personal credentials and path you specified when creating the caldav account.
Therefore, if you have more then one calendar at posteo, you should be able to add one caldav account for each of them, f.e. https://posteo.de:8443/calendars/moo-crumpus/default/, https://posteo.de:8443/calendars/moo-crumpus/stuff/, https://posteo.de:8443/calendars/moo-crumpus/things_to_miss/, ..., but I for myself never tried that. But you can test the URL with your original path and credentials in any browser. With a wrong path you will recive an error message as there is no calendar available.
Which host's calender is empty now? Google's overwrote posteo's, or posteo's default was overwritten by posteo's birthday, or facebook overtook google... ?
Best advice: next time export your calendars to ICS file before changing things. The moment after ist is to late...

It was really confusing, sorry. I tried to make it more understandable.
