I have my Contacts in NextCloud and it automatically creates a calendar called "Contact birthdays" which then shows up as a aditional calendar and in the morning you get a notification on your phone or computer about that birthday.

That's great! Do I need a special calendar app? What calendar app are you using?
Just the build in on my phone or PC they all speak CalDAV
You could add those birthdays as events in your calendar instead of adding them in contacts.
It's a good option. I just hoped that I can somehow import this info from my current contacts.
I use Evolution for email (which ... well, is somewhat doable with scale-to-fit), and it notifies me about contact birthdays.
