Hello together, I have installed joplin today and synced via dropbox. Have tried to create sub Notebooks, but i did not found how it works.  
Can someone help me with it?  
Greetings, Pete

@Pete welcome to the forum.

In the Joplin client just right-click on the notebook you want to create a sub-notebook for and select "New notebook".

If the notebook already exists and you want to make it a sub-notebook of another, just left-click and hold the notebook and drag it onto the notebook you want it to be under.

If you no longer want a sub-notebook to be a sub-notebook, drag it over the word "NOTEBOOKS" and it will become a "main" notebook.

One caveat to add, you can't make sub-notebooks nor promote them back in the mobile or terminal apps currently, only in desktop.
