Hi Carsten,
My bad, didn't got your question.
PnP list templates are part of a site template that can have only the list, for example. The problem you have here is that there is no option to make list templates from PnP to appear on the default UI to create lists. You will have to create a custom UI for that.
But this is definitely a common scenario as I have had to do this to more than one client and would be great to have a place where templates could be dropped to automatically be displayed on the UI.
A minimalistic approach would be to have a simple list as the entry point to trigger the provisioning process. Or add a custom SPFx web part on top of the list to give a better UI to end users. You can then use Flow + Azure queue + Function to create a robust process
