In your example, there is no sense of the ProjektHandler instance being 
saved persistently in the attribute. A new object is created for each 
transaction. Is this what you want?

Where have you put this external method? That is, where in the ZODB?

That's as I expect. Generally, you call methods from URLs, you don't 
retrieve the values of attributes.
