Since I did only find the official Netlify documentation - which does a pretty good job at explaining everything, but I wish it would be a bit shorter.

1. Go to Custom Domains
   https://app.netlify.com/sites/ your_site_name /settings/domain#custom-domains
2. Change DNS Settings on your domain's provider to point to netlify.com DNS Servers.
   • Select the ... and select Go to DNS Settings
   • add the Netlify nameservers to your domain service (dns1.p03.nsone.net, dns2.p03.nsone.net, dns3.p03.nsone.net)
3. Wait a few minutes until the changes are reflected

Netlify handles the SSL certificate setup via Let's Encrypt automatically for you. Although it may take a few hours - I believe it took 1.5 h for this page until the certificate was ready.

This is all it takes to setup your custom domain!
