After creating a new footprint (vias), I wanted to change the pad properties. However, the pad properties are not read back.
Question: Why do I get this error message when checking the footprint?
Please change the language from Preferences → Language to English for screenshots, even online machine translation doesn’t help with images.

What’s your footprint type? You can check in Datei->Footprint-Eigenschaften… (or File->Footprint Properties…) on the bottom right.
As you use a THT pad, KiCad expects you to set the footprint type to through hole, but it looks like it’s set to “Other”/“Sonstige”, which is more for silkscreen footprints and other more “decorative” elements.
