OK, I loose that.  I understand that it is meant for newcomers anyway.

My default-major-mode is fundamental-mode and my scratch buffer is
always in lisp-interaction-mode.  I tried to find out where that comes
from but without success.  Nothing in auto-mode-alist, magic-mode-alist,
interpreter-mode-alist.  No configuration found with grep -ir
lisp-interaction-mode ~/.emacs.d/.  Nothing found using apropos-value
lisp-interaction-mode.  Funny that it, but very handy ;-)


Best,
Stefan
