How to display news articles grouped by year with TYPO3 Versatile news system

I tried to show a list of news articles with the LIST-Modul grouped by year. The year itself should be displayed as headline for each group of articles. Like

2014
--------
article 1
article 2
article 3
--------
2013
--------
article 4
article 5
...

I tried to implement it with the f:groupedFor viewhelper in the standard list.html template of the extension. inside the pagedNews part. But TYPO3 throws the exception: http://wiki.typo3.org/Exception/CMS/1237900529

I also tried the viewhelper mentioned here: https://gist.github.com/daKmoR/1287203 and read the question here Display list of elements grouped by year and by month in TYPO3 Fluid

Both seams not to work inside news templates

The error you are getting when using f:groupedFor is almost always the result of a syntax error. Can you show your usage of the ViewHelper so we can have a look? – Jost
Thanks for your advise. Today I started a with an empty news template, to get rid of any syntax specific errors. I finally get it to work with the viewhelper linked in my question. I will post my answer with the solution later today. – unconnect

I finally got the viewhelper to work.

Here is my little extension based on https://gist.github.com/daKmoR/1287203

With this I was able to group news by year.
