# close("patient.neu")
# while ( (getline x < "patient.neu") > 0)
# {
# if (substr(x,1,7) == $2)

You read the file patient.neu for every record in zahlung.neu ....
Instead, you can use the method illustrated by the following script.

Code:

awk '
# Initialize FS for first file
BEGIN {
  FS = "/"
}

# Memorize Names from first file
FNR==NR {
  Name[$1] = $2;
  next;
}

# Set FS and OFS for second file
FNR==1  {
  FS  = "@";
  OFS = "@";
}

# Select record where Name is present in first file
$2 in Name {
    print Name[$2],$0;
}
 ' patient.neu zahlung.neu > zahlung.neu1
