Does OSX show in the boot menu if you hold the Alt key during boot?

Can you reboot in to OSX from the Bootcamp control panel in Windows?

Great, yes it does show. And I can launch it.

But there is no bootcamp in the windows installation.

Thank you very much.

Sadly the windows installation can not use the macbook pros keyboard commands, like adjusting brightness. And I can not use the internal wlan, I have to plugin a WLan USB Stick.

Did you install the Windows support software from Apple?

In OSX go to System Preferences > Startup Disk

Does Windows and OSX appear there? Set OSX as startup disk if you prefer that.
