First I'll try to explain my idea better.
The application I build should be the core of our new intranet.
The content is nearly completly maintained in a decentralized way.  All users can edit pages, news and so on. 
Every content should be revision-safe, so that it could switched back to a previous state.
A main feature is that the user can jump from revision to revision and can compare the different revisions.

This is why I build pointer in both directions - to make the revision browsing easy. The revision concept works but only with the page model. I was not able to implement another model e.g. news.

But now I found the problem!!!

I used

/**
* Nächste Revision
* Nicht gesetzt falls es sich um die neueste Revision handelt.
* @var \COMPANY\Revising\Domain\Model\RevisionInterface
* @ORM\OneToOne(mappedBy="previousRevision")
* @ORM\Column(nullable=true)
*/

but it has to be
/**
* Nächste Revision
* Nicht gesetzt falls es sich um die neueste Revision handelt.
* @var \COMPANY\Revising\Domain\Model\AbstractRevision
* @ORM\OneToOne(mappedBy="previousRevision")
* @ORM\Column(nullable=true)
*/

I had to use the abstract class in the @var annotation!! *HeadToDesk*

Thanks again for your input. I thought about it a long time... maybe I will refactor it later.
