Ok i found the answer by my own. On the type level i had to wrap the "properties" with the type name. E.g:

"type1" : { "properties" : { ..... } }

See the following code:

private XContentBuilder getMappingsByJson(){
    XContentBuilder builder = null;
    try {
        builder = XContentFactory.jsonBuilder().startObject().startObject(type).startObject("properties");
        for(int i = 1; i<5; i++){
            builder.startObject("ATTR" + i)
                    .field("type", "integer")
                    .field("store", "yes")
                    .field("index", "analyzed")
                    .endObject();
            }
            builder.endObject().endObject().endObject();
        }
        catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    return builder;
}

It creates mappings for the attributes ATTR1 - ATTR4. Now it is possible to define mapping for Example a list of different attributes dynamically. Hope it helps someone else.
