If you are syncing with Mac OS X Address Book, you have to actively remove it from the "backup" group on the Mac, I believe.

unfortunately thats not the case ....
i want t KEEP it in my adress book even after i´ve deleted in on my i phone
but somehow they always get deleted from the whole adress book meaning
they are gone for good ... !

In that case, don't delete it on the phone, but remove it from the group in AddressBook on the Mac. That will (should) remove it from the phone the next time you sync.
