It works now with this config. Actually it seems to be the same config. I just worked on it a bit and suddenly it worked.

server {
        listen  ip:80; ## listen for ipv4

        server_name  www.example.com;

     if ($http_host != "www.example.com") {
                 rewrite ^ https://www.example.com$request_uri permanent;
       }
                root   /var/www/example;
    location = /robots.txt {
                allow all;
                log_not_found off;
                access_log off;
       }

       # Deny all attempts to access hidden files such as .htaccess, .htpasswd, .DS_Store (Mac).
       location ~ /\. {
                deny all;
                access_log off;
                log_not_found off;
       }

       location ~*  \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|css|js|ico)$ {

       location = /clear.gif {

                expires max;
       }
       location ^~ /partner/typo3/gfx {

                deny all;
       }

       location /partner {
                if ($query_string ~ ".+") {
                        return 405;
                }
                # pass requests from logged-in users to PHP
                if ($http_cookie = 'nc_staticfilecache|be_typo_user' ) {
                        return 405;
                } # pass POST requests to PHP
                if ($request_method !~ ^(GET|HEAD)$ ) {
                        return 405;
                }
                if ($http_pragma = 'no-cache') {
                        return 405;
                }
                if ($http_cache_control = 'no-cache') {
                        return 405;
                }
                error_page 405 = @nocache;

                # serve requested content from the cache if available, otherwise pass the request to PHP
                try_files /partner/typo3temp/tx_ncstaticfilecache/$host${request_uri}index.html @nocache;
       }

       location @nocache {
                try_files $uri $uri/ /partner/index.php?$args;
       }

       location ^~ /partner/typo3temp/tx_ncstaticfilecache {
                expires 43200;
                charset utf-8;
       }

        index  index.php index.html index.htm;

        # pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
        #
        location ~ \.php$ {
                try_files $uri =403;
                include  fastcgi_params;
                fastcgi_split_path_info ^(/partner)(/.*)$;
                fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
                fastcgi_index  index.php;
                fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
                include         fastcgi_params;
        }

}

I placed a info.php file in /partner and it displays correctly. However typo3 does not work correctly.

When I go to the backend https://www.example.com/partner/backend.php it redirects me to https://www.example.com/backend.php. And firebug shows stuff like

The page at https://www.example.com/partner/typo...p_aboutmodules displayed insecure content from http://www.example.com/install/.
/install/:1GET https://www.example.com/install/ 404 (NOT FOUND)

any idea how to fix this?
