Ah, I didn't know I had to write the certificate onto the Yubikey.
I only imported it into gpgsm following this guide: 
http://scute.org/scute.html/Certificate-Preparation.html

I just tried to write the certificate onto the Yubiykey:

$ gpg --edit-card
Reader ...........: Yubico Yubikey 4 OTP U2F CCID 00 00
[...]
ssb>  rsa4096/3AA08B6113EC625C  created: 2016-12-25  expires: never
[...]
gpg/card> admin
Admin commands are allowed
gpg/card> writecert 3 <new-cert.der
gpg: error writing certificate to card: Provided object is too large

Do I have to choose a smaller key size?

Thanks a lot

Fabian
