Ich habe es mit der Schaufel versucht, aber kein Glück. Brauche ich eine Baumstumpffräse? Oder ist es möglich, einen Bohrer zu verwenden? Danke.

I would be employing the services of my trusty mattock. Sharpen the blades edge up and be prepared to sweat for it.
Mattock, draining spade and blood, sweat and tears.
You’d nit use a shovel as that is for moving already dug up stuff.
It depends on how physical you are happy to get. They are pretty small.
Mattock, digging bar. You’d start with small pointy things to remove soil from around the roots. Don’t start right up next to them, start further away where you can get into the soil and work around and towards them.
Once you start exposing roots, for something that size, the mattock will likely go through the roots, or maybe a small hand saw.
Bit at a time.
As a note, if you are involved in cutting the tree down, especially with things this size, leave a meter of the trunk still there, you can then use that to lever the stump out.
If you don’t want to get this physical, don’t get a stump grinder, get someone in.
I use a water hose to expose the roots, then a mattock.
It’s easier to remove if you leave some trunk for leverage. I would dig out the roots and use a grubbing (ie one you don’t care about) axe to chop them around, then a large crowbar and logs to lever it out. Keep looking for roots and chopping them to loosen it.
Spade, mattock, loppers.
If you have time to leave it over winter you could take a old wood bit and drill down through the stump and leave it to rot down over winter. Top it off with a handful of compost to get the rotting process going.
Should breakup easier come spring
Copper Nails help the decay process if you want to be super lazy.
Or
Drill down, then through the side to meet and set fire to the hole from the top. It’ll slowly burn down to a point you can dig it up.
Or
Dig It Up.
Option two for me. Way more fun.
Much easier to work round them and let them decay in situ. Plant ground cover or shrubs to hide them.
Stump grinder, ideally with operator as it’s bloody loud.
Time and let it rot
Spade/mattock time and a lot of brews
The smaller ones you could try with a pithfork first you never know the roots could be rotted enough that with a good wriggle they might come out ok.
You could try pushing down with a spade all around. You might cut enough roots to pull it out.
If you use a mattock or pickaxe or any other tool, be very mindful of where your shins are. Do not, I repeat, do not let your shins be in the same swing arc of the blade.
The answer is always mattock. Be prepared for a a lot of sweat and work, and big holes in the ground that you have nothing to backfill with.
A mattock is about to become your most used tool.
All of them
mattock
they will eventually rot away
