I have an issue with the hotspot on my little server:

The hotspot is configured and I think it's ready to work, only the DHCP is missing. dnsmasq is not starting:

    dnsmasq.service - dnsmasq - A lightweight DHCP and caching DNS server
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/dnsmasq.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
     Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Tue 2023-04-18 15:32:15 CEST; 27s ago

How can I solve this and run Pi-hole + DHCP on the system and how can I make the bridge in between the networks?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
