Rendering Problems while changing the theme

I'm new to Appdevelopment and trying to change the Theme of my app in Android Studio 1.4.1 (latest) on Windows 10 x64, but I always get exceptions, here is what I do: (yes, I now there are already many questions, but I couldn't find an answer)

Start Project (name: TEST)
For Phone and Tablet (min. SDK: API 15 Android 4.0.3 IceCreamSandwich)
Choose Blank Activity (name: MainActivity)
Go to activity_main.xml -> design view
Choose Nexus 4; API 23; Holo Light / Holo Dark / Material Light / Material Dark; (API and Phone doesn't matter => tried a lot)
EXCEPTION:

Rendering Problems

The following classes could not be instantiated:

android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout

What is wrong?? I use the premade stuff and it doesn't work? -_- NOT cool.

Please help! -Minding

Try choosing higher minimum SDK for the project (Lollipop or Marshmallow)

If you really need older minimum, try creating the project with an empty activity or no activity at all and start from there.

Try replacing

android:theme="@style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay"

with

android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light"

inside CoordinatorLayout
