That was far to easy. Why didn't I think of it? ;-)

The result is interesting:

When I download a contact directly in OwnCloud, it looks like this:

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
N:Mustermann;
ORG:Sometimes;
TEL;TYPE=WORK;TYPE=VOICE:01234456789
UID:20140318T130134.96bbd18c94
REV:2014-06-06T15:57:26+00:00
PRODID:-//ownCloud//NONSGML Contacts 0.3//EN
CATEGORIES:Group1,Group2
END:VCARD

The shown "CATEGORIES" are synced with Android.

When I make Thunderbird import this vcard, these CATEGORIES are not
used, they simply vanish. Thunderbird has its own categories, but those
two kinds of categories don't seem to be compatible.

But when I export a TB contact as CSV, there is no catagory at all:

Vorname,Nachname,Anzeigename,Spitzname,Primäre E-Mail-Adresse,Sekundäre
E-Mail-Adresse,Messenger-Name,Tel. dienstlich,Tel.
privat,Fax-Nummer,Pager-Nummer,Mobil-Tel.-Nr.,Privat: Adresse,Privat:
Adresse 2,Privat: Ort,Privat: Bundesland,Privat: PLZ,Privat:
Land,Dienstlich: Adresse,Dienstlich: Adresse 2,Dienstlich:
Ort,Dienstlich: Bundesland,Dienstlich: PLZ,Dienstlich:
Land,Arbeitstitel,Abteilung,Organisation,Webseite 1,Webseite
2,Geburtsjahr,Geburtsmonat,Geburtstag,Benutzerdef. 1,Benutzerdef.
2,Benutzerdef. 3,Benutzerdef. 4,Notizen,

This is more than strange. TB can set categories, but they are not
exported, neither in csv, nor in ldif.
