netctl fails to start profile

I have issues with netctl to start up a static ethernet connection on multiple computers. All I get is:

[root@lnx01 cjurk]# netctl start ham.de
Job for netctl@ham.de.service failed. See 'systemctl status netctl@ham.de.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.

My /etc/netctl/ham.de looks like:

Description='A basic static ethernet connection'
Interface=enp4s0
Connection=ethernet
IP=static
Address=('192.168.3.4/24')
Gateway='192.168.3.1'
DNS=('192.168.3.1')

## For IPv6 autoconfiguration
IP6=stateless

journalctl reveals some output, but I don't know whats wrong.
