Problems with X-forwarding and nvidia driver for ssh -X

I have just digged out a T430 Lenovo Notepad with a dockingstation. After installing the nvidia-384 driver through Settings > Software ... > Additional Drivers, I got it running on my 2 screen setup *yay!
However this is my office PC and I am accessing a Workstation as well. SSH does a perfect job, but if I try to forward spyder (for Python) to my machine, it would say:
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
Unrecognized OpenGL version
I then reinstalled mesa-utils
sudo apt install mesa-utils
and the error changed. Now, if I log into the server and start the program, I get
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
[17689:17737:0412/162127.329691:ERROR:gl_context_glx.cc(240)] Couldn't make context current with X drawable.
The starting window of spyder will pop to the screen but get's stuck afterwards.
Setting
unset LC_ALL
like supposed for some gaming-issues did not solve the problem.
I did some copy-pasting, but I do not understand the problem anymore and instead of messing up my Ubuntu, I decided to ask you for help.
Appreciate any comments.
Thanks in advance!

Do programs like xclock forward? Maybe spyder is not an X program.

You're right @ubfan1. xlcock works fine, but Spyder does on other machines without the nvidia graphic cards as well. Any idea, where the problem could be?
