What you could also check is whether the cables are embedded in plaster or lie in a conduit.

In the cloud, I have a photo of the can, as an example.

That really doesn’t make any sense. You can only hope that they laid an 8-core cable and only refurbished the old sockets. Unscrew one of those sockets and photograph the cable.

The glass box with the yellow sticker is only for things that don't concern you.
The white box with the piggy pink sticker is from Telekom; apparently, the "line" comes in at the TAE beneath it, which brings your "All-IP" into the house.
At night, all cables are gray. If you strip about a hand's width off these kilometer-long cable rolls at the end, you can show us much more informative stuff.
Simply put, there are three types. "Telekom cables" each have four red wires, and the second set of four is green; pairs always belong together: no-stripe/stripe and wide/narrow double-stripe. They also exist with just one set of four in color (white/red, black/yellow). Other telephone cables often have eight wires: the first pair is red/blue; for the others (yellow, green, brown), the a-wire is always white.
"Network cables" also have paired wires (solid and striped, in blue, orange, green, brown). Google TIA 568 A or -B. On the socket, they belong together as 4/5, 3/6, 1/2, and 7/8.
I would not use any further TAE sockets behind the "first TAE", but rather consistent network sockets. And with double sockets, always in the design that they are controlled with two cables (thus 8/8).
If you use LSA(+) sockets, special insertion tools are strongly recommended.
A bit of reading so that you can distinguish between routers/access points or DECT/WLAN won't hurt.

So, here are the pictures. The cables have no labeling and are not installed under plaster. They come once from the ceiling (upper floor) and at ground level from the wall.

There is some good but also bad news.
Let's start with the bad. According to the color coding, these are not network cables but JYSTY cables. These were typical for ISDN wiring. You can try to install a network socket on both ends and test what works through. If the cable is not too long, this can work quite well, but it doesn't have to.
Maybe your biggest luck is that the cables are in the empty conduit. You can try to swap the cables there. If you are not a great handyman yourself, I would organize an electrician for this. Maybe there is one in the circle of friends or family. Pulling cables can be quite a fiddly job and they often have one or two tricks.
There is another solution with little effort. You put the router in the living room. The TAE socket at the router is connected to the TAE at the APL. Then the HUE Bridge also has to move along.
In general, looking at the pictures and the parallel contribution, I wonder if the builders are stuck in the last century. When I see the amount of cables, not much was saved on the quantity, but the extra cost of a few cents for a current CAT cable was not enough.
