In the material. The ventilation is basically quite ineffective. There is no "drive" for horizontal air exchange. Is a vapor barrier or vapor retarder planned on the room side?

That's exactly right. You wouldn't have air circulation in this horizontal air layer. In terms of heat transfer, this layer between the beam and the floor layer would already be "beyond" the insulation layer. Without circulation, you would have the "breeding ground" for exactly the condensation you fear.

Below the beams – that is, "in front" of the insulation layer – the slowing down of heat transfer has not yet occurred, and therefore, the temperature gradient compared to the layer directly below (= indoor air) is smaller and thus less problematic. The battens do not interfere here (they are not intended to serve an energetic purpose at this point, but rather to decouple the "movement" of the "beam" material from the drywall panels that behave in this sense stably/rigidly – the latter, in turn, is not necessary for wood on wood). However, I would have preferred tongue and groove boards.

So you considered the construction of my carpenter unproblematic, as long as a vapor retarder is properly installed? What would be more suitable for my construction, vapor retarder or vapor barrier?

I would not want it that way. There is no 100% airtight vapor barrier. From my point of view, the top side of the collar beam layer should actually be vapor permeable.

I have a stupid question: If you saw gaps in the panels along the entire length of the covering, thereby creating a board-like structure, wouldn’t that reduce the risk of condensation in the insulation?

You just have to make sure that any moisture that may occur can escape. Many joints or many holes would be advantageous.
