Bind9 Master zone has no address records (A or AAAA)

dns ubuntu-12.04 nameservers webmin

I've just installed Bind9 and Webmin on my VPS to manage a DNS server. Domain of the nameserver is ns1.primesystems.ch.

I created a new master zone (forward) for smartvend.ch through webmin. This works just fine, ip is resolved correctly. See configuration.

$ttl 38400
smartvend.ch.   IN  SOA ns1.primesystems.ch. john.doe.domain.ch. (
        1399011114
        10800
        3600
        604800
        38400 )
smartvend.ch.   IN  NS  ns1.primesystems.ch.
smartvend.ch.   IN  A   185.16.173.71

But when I create a new master zone for primesystems.ch (TLD of nameserver, maybe problem?) through webmin, an error occurs.

Config:

$ttl 38400
primesystems.ch.    IN  SOA ns1.primesystems.ch. john.doe.domain.ch. (
        1399028931
        10800
        3600
        604800
        38400 )
primesystems.ch.    IN  NS  ns1.primesystems.ch.
primesystems.ch.    IN  A   185.16.173.71

Error message:

The following errors were found in the records file /var/lib/bind/primesystems.ch.hosts ..

zone primesystems.ch/IN: NS 'ns1.primesystems.ch' has no address records (A or AAAA)
zone primesystems.ch/IN: not loaded due to errors.

The /etc/bin/named.conf.local looks like this:

zone "smartvend.ch" {
    type master;
    file "/var/lib/bind/smartvend.ch.hosts";
    };
zone "primesystems.ch" {
    type master;
    file "/var/lib/bind/primesystems.ch.hosts";
    };

So primesystems.ch can not be resolved by dig or host command - but smartvend.ch can.

So in my point of view, there must be a problem with primesystems.ch because it's also the nameserver. What i want is to route the url primesystems.ch to a webserver. Has anyone a idea?

UPDATE: After adding 'ns1 IN A 185.16.173.70', the error disappeared. But when I run 'host primesystems.ch' no IP is returned. And 'dig primesystems.ch' returs this:
