Oh god i am an idiot.
I edited the wrong function the whole time. No wonder it did not work. -_-

To try out form validation i first created a separate controller for testing purposes before adding it to the place it belongs. While i changed the routing to the new function i changed the contents in the old controller instead of the new one...

I will go bang my head against the table for a few times now...

Thanks a lot and sorry for wasting your time.
