Uuh, thanks. Then everything's fine. I created the key with:

tor --quiet --keygen-family ForPrivacyNET

and then copied 'ForPrivacyNET.secret_family_key' into tor's KeyDir

The most annoying thing for me¹ was changing the rights ;-)

chown _tor-00:_tor-00 /var/lib/tor-instances/00/keys/ForPrivacyNET.secret_family_key
...
chown _tor-$$:_tor-$$ /var/lib/tor-instances/$$/keys/ForPrivacyNET.secret_family_key


¹because I'm brain-dead and don't use ansible.
