[Johannes_B]

You are telling package biblatex that program biber should be used to get the info from the bib database, but you are actually using program bibtex to get the info. That won't work.
Please have a look at the following link: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Bib ... g_up_biber

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Yes, use biber instead of bibtex. Ths can be a setting in your editor, if you don't use the command line.
