Mkvtoolnix subtitle but not activated - how ?

[Platos]

I want subtitle, but i don't want, that they are activated automaticly, when i start the videofile.

I tried to set the "track enabled flag" to "no". But the first subtitle in the row falls back to "yes", when i start multiplexing.

How can i make, that there is no subtite avtivated (but available) ?

The "track enabled"-flag only signals whether this is a track that is playback relevant. (if disabled, players which support this flag, should not display the track)
The "forced display"-flag, assuming the player supports it, will force the display of this track.
Whether of not a player displays a track that has "forced display" disabled is up to the player.
=> check your player settings

How can i make, that there is no subtite avtivated (but available) ?

1. leave "track enabled", the default, for all tracks
2. make sure none of the track has "forced display" enabled.
3. configure your player to not automatically show subtitles.

Also make sure none of the sub tracks are marked default.
