add the static IPv4 address into the hosts-File with the hostname "router"
so that dnsmasq can resolve my routers IP.

You're probably hit by the same problem I did. Your router is using a SLAAC

add options ra-names, slaac to your dhcp-range

Check if it works. It did for me, all devices have both v4 and v6.
