Solution:
(History:)Originally I was unable to spawn the controllers after initializing the canopen driver. A lot was discussed here and i was really struggling with my setup, but here are the solutions that made it work finally:
First problem was identified by @Mathias Lüdtke. Namely, the original EDS file had a wrong object description, the right one is DataType=0x0007.
The second problem was again around the EDS file, namely, the correct PDO mapping was the issue. For me its still not 100% clear why the PDO mapping from the working Schunk package did not allow to successfully spawn the position controller and control the motor,
however the following PDO mapping allows both to measure the shaft position (through joint_states topic) and control the shaft position (through the /joint_1_position_contller/command topic):

I hope this solution can help others to save some time.
I would also like to thank Mathias for the constant help!
