Google 'hot pull' and 'cold pull' to clean the nozzle.
If this keeps happening frequently after you clean the nozzle, you probably need to raise the printing temperature a bit.

Ummm... what? Do you mean:
-An Ultimaker 3?
-An Anycubic i3 Mega?
-Some other printer?
If it is anything else than the first option, you're probably not in the right part of this forum, or even not in the right forum at all.
I apologize for this confusion, it was a long night... It is the anycubic 3 d mega. If I should refer to another part of the forum, please let me know.
Thanks Dirk

No problem - so you have an Anycubic i3 Mega. As the name says, this is not an Ultimaker printer. I would suggest posting your question in the "Help, Tips & Tricks" section of the forum.
I would also contact the manufacturer (Anycubic), I heard they are often quite helpful. It would also not hurt to find some forum or facebook group that deals with Anycubic printers in particular, as there you are much more likely to find people that know the exact answer to your problem. There may be some Anycubic users in this forum, but it is still mostly an Ultimaker forum.
This sounds to me like the heat break is not working. Perhaps the hot-end cooling fan (not the part-cooling fan) is not running or is blocked somehow?
Hello, thanks to everybody who tried to help me. Yes, heat break is the correct key word. The answer was quite simple with the benefit of hindsight. In the beginning I was impatient and switched the "preheat" to often on while trying out things. That was the first block. Then I didn't respect the need of a space between the hot-end and the cooling. The more I tried the firmer I screwed the hot-end against the cooling. So the filament became warm in a part with many retractions and blocked. Every attempt included this error because I wasn't aware of the importance of this gap.
