I am searching for a simple messaging solution.
I need:
* Windows based Instant Messenger Software, no Java and no Flash
* 100% portable
* OTR encryption or some other *open* encryption
* encrypted voice chat (best would be some ZRTP standard)
* encryted video chat
* no proprietary network
* IM software available must also be available for Android 2.x+, iOS, etc.
* Chrome extension or at least a webbased possibility to use all the mentioned functions
I am searching for a couple of years already and as far as I can tell there is no such solution out there.

I really don't think there's anything that quite ticks all those boxes. You're going to have to compromise on something. As far as I'm aware one of the most secure IM platforms (in mass use) at the moment is iMessage, to which Apple can't even get access to the contents of due to the end-to-end encryption used. Unsurprisingly it's proprietary though, but I'm just using it as an example.Which of those points are most important to you? Do you really need voice and video, or would IM suffice?

Thats a very specific list of requirements, especially 'no proprietary network' id suggest looking at open source hubs, finding the one that closest matches your requirements and ask the community/developers of the open source app, if they can help you out.Sorry can't be of more help!
