How to use Query List on a multiple lookup Column with Filter Contains

Hello,

on my onPrem SharePoint SE Farm, I have two lists. 

List 1 contains a lookup column with multiple entries that refer to List 2, “Other seminars.”

List 2 contains seminars with the field “Seminar title.”

For example, one entry in List 2 has “IT Workshop” as the seminar title. 

List 2 has the lookup value “IT Workshop” and others in the “Other seminars” field.

I would like to use Query List to obtain only the IDs of the entries in List 1 that contain “IT Workshop” in the “Other seminars” column.

My CAML is:

<Query>
  <Lists>
    <List ID="{75EBDC1E-BBDF-4383-BBAF-C61C019E8948}" />
  </Lists>
  <ViewFields>
    <FieldRef Name="ID" />
  </ViewFields>
  <Where>
    <Contains>
      <FieldRef Name="otherSeminars"  />
      <Value Type="Lookup">IT-Workshop</Value>
    </Contains>
  </Where>
</Query>
 

I also tried only the ID “13” of the IT Workshop and this: 13;#IT-Workshop. But anytime the same error.

I receive the following error message: Error retrieving list data. Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131904

How can I resolve this problem?

Thank you so much for your help.

Sabine
