Hi,
I tried this one for the list:
________________________________________________
Chicago Manual of Style 18th edition (author-date)

Shaffer, David R., und Katherine Kipp. 2014. Developmental Psychology: Childhood and Adolescence. 9th edition. Wadsworth Cengage Learning.
_________________________________________________

I don't want to have the first name of the second person bevor her name. I wonder, that it exists like this.

It should be
Shaffer, David R., und Kipp, Katherine (2014) or .2014. ....
Better would be & instead of «und».

how is this possible? 420 citations ... I can't do it manually.

Which citation style corresponds to my request? I tried some of them.
I want the full first name. year after the name(s).

Thanks a lot - amerindia fits 99 %. No (2002), just 2002.

I'm not good enough for the editor. Just thx to mention it.

The editor allows you to find styles close to what you need, it isn't just for editing

I type in the editor:

Campbell, John L. & Pedersen, Ove K. (2007) The varieties of capitalism and hybrid success. Comp Polit Stud.;40(3):307-332. doi:10.1177/0010414006286542

Nothing comes out with this style.

That's how I learned to cite ... 25 years ago in Switzerland.

Yeah, that's a weird mix of style elements (writing out first names and abbreviating journal names, e.g., is exceedingly rare), I'm not surprised you're not finding an exact match, but the editor always gives you reasonably close options.
https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=id:mercator-institut-fur-sprachforderung-und-deutsch-als-zweitsprache e.g. seems like a good match, too. If you want to get a perfect match for an idiosyncratic custom style, you will have to edit an existing style, though (I generally believe it's preferable to follow established rules than go with individual preferences; that's why we have style manuals).

Thanks. I did not want the abbreviating journal names. I didn't see it. I focused on the names and the order of name / firstname. And the year after it, so it can be seen easy when looking throug the list.

Your proposal fits perfectly! Wow. Thks a lot. Do you speak german? If yes, I'll send you a book in january.
