Hi,

i can set up a brand new Shelly 1PM via Shelly Smart Control app on my tablet and attach it to my WiFi. No other settings made. If I type its IP-address in a browser on my PC, I'm "in" at once and could do anything I want to.

But if I type in the very same IP-address in any browser on my smartphone or tablet - which is in the same WiFi net as the Shelly, I do only get an error message like "Unable to connect" on the tablet in FireFox or "This site can't be reached" in Vivaldi.

However, if I disable WiFi on my smartphone and active a VPN connection via LTE into my home, I can access the shelly.

What goes wrong? What am I missing?

Cheers.

when you are connected to the network via lan what is your Ip address that you get and then the same when you connect to the wifi. 

With out knowing the Ip address it would be hard to really know why I think it could be a IP address issue when connecting to the network. 
The best method to test this on the laptop is cmd. Ipconfig to check the ipaddress and then ping the device with Ping <ipaddress> -t 

is suspect that when the wifi is connected it might be that its on a other network or Ipaddress range

After a router (FRITZ!Box 5590 with OS 8.00) reboot, the situation remained unchanged. But after I activated a VPN on my smartphone into my network while the WiFi on my smartphone was still active, it has triggered something inside the router and it worked at once on all WiFi connected computers. Smartphone, tablet, laptop. Just like that. A friend suggested a f***** routing table. I do hope this won't happen again.
