Heiko,
thank you for putting it all together.

In order to see text which has been marked as hidden by direct formatting, the
checkmark in Tools>Options>LibreOfficeDevWriter>FormattingAids>Hidden
Characters must be set
AND
the the checkmark at View>Formatting Marks must be set.

The latter toggles display of hidden characters. If the other one is not set,
hidden characters stay hidden. Fortunately once enabled it is memorized past
the end of the current LO Writer session. That works for me.

Now I got it, how hiding characters works. 

The link you supplied is for yet another mechanism through conditional text
which is something more complicated and targeted at creating automated texts
which adapt themselves to conditions, probably usable in mail merge operations
(e.g. to create serial letters).
