Question

what do I have to do, to show a navigationbar in a view, that is presented via presentModalViewController?

I call the presentModalViewController from code.

When I segue to the same view in a storyboard, whitch in this case is embedded in a navcontroler, everything works fine.

Thx

You need to add a nav bar to a controller when presenting modally

    UIViewController* myViewController = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationContoller* navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:myViewController];
[self presentModalViewController:navController animated:YES];

Then in myViewController’s viewWillAppear method you can setup the a dismiss or close button for the modal controller.

Another way to do it if you are using a Storyboard is to just get the storyboard by name and instantiate the controller by identifier.

UIStoryboard* storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"storyboard" bundle:nil];
[storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"myViewController"];

In the second example myViewController is a UINavigationController in the storyboard file.
I’m assuming ARC for all the code.
