I just tried to attach the TLC59116 [https://hackaday.io/page/818-hmmm-what-about-an-i2c-port-led-driver-ic] to the Atmega Hearth. Unfortunately it is not working.

Not sure why. Perhapps i have to try it again with external 16MHz crystal.

Do you have Ideas why it couldn't be working?

The same sketch works at a Atmega328p...

It could be anything - wrong pins, no pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL, wrong I2C address? Not so sure about the timing, but even if it's a wrong crystal it still should work, since it's the master? Have you tried another atmega hearth and I2C modules, just to make sure? 

  Are you sure? yes | no

I tried Pullup Resistors and 16MHz crystal. Still not working :(

I'm on Vacation after that i will try to use anoter I2C Device...

Well... the pcf8574 works with the ATMEGA16. The TLC still refuses to work properly... it looks like it gets resets or misses some steps idk.. :-(
