I have a Trezor and made a wallet online on mytrezor.com. But what happens when the site goes offline for some reason? I don't have a private key as far as i know. Anyone an idea?

easy : in this case , you can import your entire trezor wallet in Mycellium , or in Electrum without any problem.

( you can indeed do that with your trezor seed )

You did write down the seed for your Trezor and keep in a safe place right? If your Trezor is lost you need that seed phrase to recover. If myTrezor.com is down briefly for maintenance you can always fire up a new installation of Electrum, select new wallet and hardware wallet, then Trezor and manage your bitcoin in Electrum.

If you have lost the seed to your Trezor you should buy a new one, set it up and send your bitcoin from the old Trezor to new one. See the Trezor user manual. Most Trezor users own more than one just in case of loss or breakage.

If you lost your seed you best buy a new Trezor then send your bitcoin from the old Trezor to the new one before something unfortunate happens like theft or loss. Storing bitcoin on a Trezor for which you lost the seed is high risk. Not worth it.

If you have your recovery words you can restore it via a BIP 32/39/44 compatible software wallet including Multibit HD or mycelium, or on another Hardware wallet including Ledger / KeepKey.

Trezor has a secure recovery process. If you type your complete seed into a computer to recover into any other wallet you risk exposing the seed to a keylogger. Make sure your computer is free of malware.
