Hi AndreasTheDead, have you tried it with different versions that aren't snapshot builds of the versions of spigot/bukkit. If already try it without all plugins except plugman then test it by adding one plugin at a time, cause some plugins may cause this issue with others that i have noticed for versions of 1.14.*. For the 1.13.*+ versions i'm not sure what would cause it for you cause it does work on my server including a local server.
