Ich möchte die Äste unter der grünen Linie entfernen und etwas pflanzen, das das ganze Jahr über mehr Privatsphäre bietet. Irgendwelche Ideen, was unter einer ausgewachsenen Hängebirke überleben würde?

Anything big/tall enough to provide privacy over that fence is going to struggle in that close proximity to the big tree.
Wouldn’t some good size trellis on top of the fence cover the lower set of neighbours windows?
Ultimately there’s not much you can do. Make peace with it and remember that it’s unlikely your neighbours care to watch you in your garden.
Have a look at plants for[dry shade](https://www.rhs.org.uk/garden-inspiration/conditions/what-can-i-grow-in-a-dry-shady-spot): ferns, Bergenia, alchamella but as someone else pointed out, big all round privacy might be hard to achieve. I suspect some hollies might manage it though. Ilex Cretana and Ilex aquifolum
Look up understory plants with low water needs and aim to plant as far away as possible. Whatever you plant will need regular deep watering in the first year at least, and I’d put a mulch around it. If you want an evergreen, be careful to pick one which isn’t very thirsty. Keep around the base of it clear for at least a meter the first 3 years. Whatever you plant will likely grow slowly, so consider buying a larger plant.
Alternatively, if your fence is already the permitted height, grow a fast growing climber like star jasmine or a rose up it. Or look at planting something closer to the point that you want privacy so you get the benifit sooner and it’s away from the tree. You could build a pagoda or seat but check how far it needs to be from the property line.
A fatsia maybe, with a trellis attached to the fence planted with ivy and honeysuckle.
My dad has clumping bamboo in large planter pots to do a similar job to what you wanted. About 8-10 foot tall now, restricted in the pots and created a decent all year round screen. He just thins them periodically and the look great.
Fatsia Japonica, some bamboos (but be careful), hollies, skimmia, mahonia, Aucuba japonica (if you don’t mind the look), hydrangeas (but careful of dryness), Camellias (lovely flowers), ferns (some, like Washingtonias grow huge).
Pollarding that birch will seriously harm it – it’s fully mature. Coppicing it to the ground will preserve its health and in 3 or 4 years it’ll grow over the fence height. Then thin out the smallest stems and consider pollarding multiple stems just below fence height so it grows bushy at the top.
Trelis/wire support + Clematis armandii.
Mixed hedge? Holly, Hawthorne, Beech?
