In the settings I found "Files & Attachments" under the "General" section and I chose Libre Office Calc to open for example Excel files, but it does not ... But I am able to open .pdf files with Atril.

Meanwhile I uninstalled Libre Office and the reinstallation of libre office also failed. Then I uninstalled libre office again and installed all the single parts of libre office (writer, calc, draw, impress, ...) seperatly and this way worked. Now I can open attachments directly out of Tunderbird just by double clicking the file.
