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.

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:
