How to convert a human readable time with the format 20.12.2016 09:38:42,76 to Unix timestamps in milliseconds? I found a lot of similar questions, but didn't found this specific question/answer.

In Python 3 this can be done in 2 steps:
Convert timestring to datetime object
Multiply the timestamp of the datetime object by 1000 to convert it to milliseconds.
For example like this:
from datetime import datetime
dt_obj = datetime.strptime('20.12.2016 09:38:42,76',
'%d.%m.%Y %H:%M:%S,%f')
millisec = dt_obj.timestamp() * 1000
print(millisec)
Output:
1482223122760.0
strptime accepts your timestring and a format string as input. The timestring (first argument) specifies what you actually want to convert to a datetime object. The format string (second argument) specifies the actual format of the string that you have passed.
Here is the explanation of the format specifiers from the official documentation:
%d - Day of the month as a zero-padded decimal number.
%m - Month as a zero-padded decimal number.
%Y - Year with century as a decimal number
%H - Hour (24-hour clock) as a zero-padded decimal number.
%M - Minute as a zero-padded decimal number.
%S - Second as a zero-padded decimal number.
%f - Microsecond as a decimal number, zero-padded on the left.
