I tried asking this a week ago, and I must not have done a good job of framing my question, so let's try again (I'll try asking my questions in German if you tell me that it will increase the chances of getting a reply).

How do I get the schema validator to give me a reference to the element where an error was found?

Python              : sys.version_info(major=3, minor=6, micro=0, releaselevel='final', serial=0)
lxml.etree          : (3, 7, 3, 0)
libxml used         : (2, 9, 4)
libxml compiled     : (2, 9, 4)
libxslt used        : (1, 1, 29)
libxslt compiled    : (1, 1, 29)

Besten Dank im Voraus!
