Einstein have not mentioned the observer in system K. Instead he meant 
'stationary' as stationary in respect to the Euclidean space.

This served as unmentioned 'background' like Newton's absolute space.

That contradicted his own statement, that Newton's absolute space would 
not exist. But that did not hinder Einstein to use such a space as 
unmentioned reference.

You are in fact right, that the space of the coordinate system K would 
make most sense, if the observer rests in the center of his own 
coordinate system K. And with a change to the coordinate system k also 
the observer's position would change, hence k would be stationary, too.

But that wasn't Einstein's setting. He therefore meant, that system K is 
stationary and system k is moving.

No. The point in system K was a certain fixed but otherwise unspecified 
point (x, y, z).

This same point in space has also coordinates in system k, which were, 
what Einstein wanted to derive (but didn't).

The (unmentioned) observer should be placed in the center of system K, 
hence we could use 'system K' and 'initial observer' interchangably.

Now Einstein wrote, that a coordinate transformation from system K to 
system k would be created by exchanging Latin for Greek letters. (what 
is nonsense)

He also seemed to assume, that in his setting two spherical waves were 
created, from which one symmetrically expands in system K and the other 
also symmetrically in system k.

But that was wrong, because the waves did not originate from the 
coordinate systems (whether moving or not), but from some kind of emitter.

This emitter emitts one spherical wave only, which is observed from a 
position stationary in respect to the emitter and from a different 
position moving in respect to the emitter.

This would cause the so called 'Doppler effect' and a distortion of the 
wave in the case, where the emitter is in relative motion.

In that case of a distorted wave, that wave would no longer be 
spherical, hence Einstein's claim was wrong.

I didn't, but interpreted Einstein's text that way.

This assumption (about Einstein's intentions) is justified, because 
Einstein used the word 'stationary', but nothing in respect to what that 
entity should be stationary.

The only possible interpretation for Einstein's words is, that he meant 
absolute space (despite having excluded that already).

No. I haven't ignored that phrase, of course.

I wanted to know, how these coordinates look like, not what their names 
were, because xi, eta and zeta are names of coordinates in k, but not 
equations or similar for that coordinates.

Equations for these coordinates should have the form:
ξ= ...something

and denote the same point, which was called (x,y,z) in coordinates of K.

Relatively close to the requirements are the equations in the middle of 
page 9.

Unfortunately they had a different meaning and were not meant for the 
coordinate transformation mentioned above.

But illegal is a simple exchange of the letters in the variable names.

He derived WHAT ???
