Tor does not start after fresh installation

Dear Forum!

I am not able to start tor with systemd after clean install. Manually start is working:

/usr/lib/systemd/system/tor.service

[Unit]
Description=Anonymizing Overlay Network
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/tor -f /etc/tor/torrc
KillSignal=SIGINT
LimitNOFILE=65536

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

my config:

SocksPolicy accept 192.168.6.0/24
SocksPolicy reject *
Log notice syslog
RunAsDaemon 1
DataDirectory /var/lib/tor
ORPort 9001
BridgeRelay 1
ExitNodes {DE}

after starting tor using systemctl start tor everythin seems "fine":

● tor.service - Anonymizing Overlay Network
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/tor.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)

but there is no process nor listing ports. Starting it from the command line with tor starts the daemon and it is woking as ecxpected.
Yesterday i necrobumped a thread(sorry for that) from here:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=168577

Thats why there is no user anymore in my systemd service.

Any Thoughts?
