After IOS 17 Update on the iPad the camera for FaceTime is stuck on the rear camera. I found no way to flip it. On „my“ little picture are 3 icons only, the flip one is missing.

If your iPad is not operating as expected after performing a system software update, try a forced restart - as this will often clear an isolated software issue:
Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)
If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:
Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)
Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
If you continue to experience difficulties, you might be best advised to seek assistance directly from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page.
Alternatively, you can initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

It is all okay now. The reason was on my side and had to do with the IOS Update to 17. I share my USB Port with a laptop and had a webcam connected. Apple never accepted external Webcams up until IOS 17. Anyways I tried again this morning and my sister saw some blue of my shirt. Then I new what was going on. I disconnected the webcam and all was as it should be.
It's good to learn that you have identified the problem - and have documented the cause here. Others that are experiencing a similar issue may find this information to be helpful.
Thank you for sharing the benefit of your experience.
Did not help. I contacted support by phone.
