I like this explanation very much, thank You. I didn't know, that STATICFILES_DIRS is the source for the DEV-server serving static files. That is a big help. Now, as a consequence, in my project I've renamed the empty static folder (where the collects go into) to "static_collected", that means: STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(SITE_ROOT, '*static_collected*') Than its more clear to me and I don't mix it up again ;-)
