I was today at the transfer desk at ZRH and I asked for the supervisor and he told me, that there is NO Amadeus code for booking in the LX system. I will ask next week again to get maybe a different answer ?

If this is the case, then you will have an Amadeus PNR.
However, at the same time you will also have a PNR (different code) for LX's system.
This is how things work:
LX flight booked by travel agent that uses Amadeus = Amadeus PNR + LX PNR
LX flight booked directly with LX = LX PNR only
LX flight booked by travel agent using Sabre/Galileo/ or Worldspan = Sabre/Galileo/ or Worldspan PNR + LX PNR
LX flight booked by Other Airline (OAL) = OAL PNR + LX PNR

- if your itinerary contains at least one LX code-share segment operated by an Amadeus user (LH, JP, LO, SK, KF, BD, OS, TG) - a copy of LX reservation will be created in Amadeus and you can access it via checkmytrip.com (provided you know Amadeus reservation number - it will differ from LX number)

Did you book your LX flight with a travel agent that uses Amadeus?

LX callcenter told me that the reservation was made by the TA calling LX (LX flight booked by LX, phone reservation). But after having read all the comments here, I guess this information is wrong, the lady from the callcenter was probably wrong and it is the TA who made this reservation using Amadeus and who might have called LX for the seat requests.
Because otherwise I really don't know why LX was able to give me an amadeus pnr
