You have a public dynamic IP, I assume.

So you are in the domain: 'dynamic.kabel-deutschland.de'
but by what I see, that domain is a /24 or not??
you:
FQDN: ip5b418cfe.dynamic.kabel-deutschland.de
IP: 91.65.138.120/24

Someone else:
FQDN: ip5b418c91.dynamic.kabel-deutschland.de
IP: 91.65.140.145 /24??

something strange, you have 2 diferent *public* networks in the same domain?

Another things..
Are you trying to have 2 machines conected with a foreign dynamic dns service, ex: like 'https://www.noip.com/free' ?

who is 'ip5b418c91.dynamic.kabel-deutschland.de' ??
its other machine of yours?

do a :
arping 91.65.140.145
check the mac address, compare with any one of yours..

its a diferent network than yours but they have exactly the same domain..weird ??
what is the dns server that responds to that request?
should be: '83.169.184.33'

any ip address of your network should be there( 192.168.19.2,192.168.19.3 ?? ), but if none contacted then its ok..

No, I don't even know what is 'unbound'..

But if you are using a external service, depending of the type of external dynamic dns services,
yes, I already was some 15 years ago, using 'https://www.noip.com/free',
I already saw tons of cases like mine, out there( they don't offer you a dynamic dns service for free... free for them, means your information is selled in the black market...they need to make money.. no one offers free services.. )..

But doesn't mean you are the case here..( I don't even know what is the domain 'dynamic.kabel-deutschland.de'.. )

Your machine is acting as a DNS cache server for the network 192.168.19.0/24, for what it seems..
