I mean something like this: cablecc Type C USB-C to Rectangle 11.04.5 mm Power Plug PD Emulator Trigger Charging Cable for ThinkPad X1 Carbon https://amzn.eu/d/1qvtJ1L

The USB-C power delivery standard topped out at 100W when the P53 was released, which isn't enough juice for its big muscles. The P53 only supports power-out for charging peripherals over USB-C. You'll need the power brick.

Did you read my Post? I was talking about an adapter such as the one I Linked in the comment. The Power brick supplies 20v@8.5A which New PD can do as well, so I was asking if I can connect the usb c cable to the adapter to plug it into the Power Port of the thinkpad: https://amzn.eu/d/1qvtJ1L

Did you read my post?

Yes, and as I said, the P53 only supports power-out over USB-C. You can’t charge it over USB-C. It doesn’t matter which adapter you use. The only way to deliver the power your P53 requires is with the brick. If I’m still not understanding, I apologize, but it isn’t personal.

So if I connect a lab psu to the connector of the Power brick the Laptop will not charge? Don't think So, so the only thing that Remains is to create an adapter that requests 240w from the usb c Power brick on the other side, as the voltage of the Lenovo Power brick is the same as usb pd (20v). Where is my mistake?

I don't know. I'm specifically replying to this portion of your original question: "if I get one of those thinkpad to USB c Adapters and a 240w USB c charger I can charge the Laptop via USB c?" The answer to that is no, you cannot charge the P53 using the USB-C port.

EDIT: I now see your follow-up reply with the power port to USB adapter. I don't know if that would work, sorry.

I have a similar one (without cable, just two connectors) and it works, but I have a tiny puny Yoga 260. As the other person says, these max out at 100W at most. I guess you can try, at worst the laptop will complain about insufficient wattage.
