Hello @MalteR, nice to meet you.  
I didn't use spring in the last year but I think that probably you've to try [this solution](https://community.neo4j.com/t/creating-a-datetime-native-type-with-spring-data-neo4/11717/2) from @gerrit.meier.

Check if your using correctly native types, please.  
If that is operative and not work as expected, I will help you in other way (I've to create a little test before, so I'll need some hours and tomorrow I'll be a lot busy, so I'll try in weekend).
