Hi, Stefanie. I think you might want a URL pointing to an "archived history" if you want to move your history to a different Galaxy? I imported your test history into my account on main, then I used the 'export to file' option (it might not be optimally named since it really creates an importable archive) - main returned: "Exporting History 'imported: Neue History zum Test'. Use this link to download the archive or import it to another Galaxy server: http://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/history/export_archive?id=735329393657ab63 I just successfully imported from that URL to a private Galaxy and it all looks right.

So - I'm logged in and the link is accessible. (I tried with different accounts on the public server - that works; but not importing to our own instance.)
The history must be "Accessible via link": Options --> Share/Publish --> Make History Accessible via Link
Can you share the history with me?
Thanks, J.
I tried it, following your instructions. And different follow-ups: 1) Pasting the "sharing"-Link into the "Import a History from an Archive" field -> doesn't work 2) Opening the link being logged in to the account on OUR instance, that means, the target account, but NOT on the source account. -> doesn't work - he tries to import the history on the public server (I assume because the message was about "this will delete your current history")
When I imported histories from one account to another on the public server, I never used "Make History Accessible via Link". I just took the export-Link (the one you can download the history as an archive file.) I even tried uploading the file somewhere else.
This is my test-History: http://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/u/stef85/h/neue-history-zum-test
