There’s a simpler ruleset which worked for me once upon a time (I actually used it to strip off the www but the needed changes should be obvious):

RewriteRule ^ - [E=via:http]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =on
RewriteRule ^ - [E=via:https]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =www.(msquadrat.de) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{ENV:via}://%1/$1 [R=301]

Slightly OT: There’s just something incredibly sexy about a geek chick.

The trick is to have two separate vhosts with a different rewrite rule in each as follows:

1) for simpli.biz / *.simpli.biz port 80
- rewrite to https://www.simpli.biz/1

2) for simpli.biz port 443
- rewrite to https://www.simpli.biz/1

That’s it.
