Ok, I got it to work fine now: I've been to impatient!

After having a look into the source I found in defines.h:

        /*
         * This many TCP connections must FAIL before we mark the
         * peer as DEAD
         */
        #define PEER_TCP_MAGIC_COUNT 10

So what is needed: You must do PEER_TCP_MAGIC_COUNT tries to connect via the dead parent.
After this number of tries squid marks this parent as Down and uses the peer with the
next less weight.

Thank you for your pointers!

Hasta la vista,
