I apologize for not providing many details, I thought the questions is trivial 
and I am just missing a minor detail, which is obvious for other linphone 
users.

No, I just mentioned davx5 to show that on the nextcloud side the CardDAV 
interface is configured and operational.

Also kaddressbook (out of KDE Gear) on the same Linux desktop which runs 
linphone works flawless with my nextcloud instance.

As mentioned above, that works flawless and not only with davx5 & contacts app.

I am using linphone on a Linux desktop: 
Linphone-6.0.0-CallEdition-x86_64.AppImage
