Google translation: Lightroom 6 with AMD Radeon HD 7700 does not work. I use LR 6 under Win 10 64 bit with AMD Radeon HD 7700. Driver version is updated to 17.10.3211.1011-1706121-315, since error already occurred under previous version. When changing from library to developer module, Lightroom crashes. Is almost not usable for image processing. Found here on AMD Catalyst 15.8 for Windows, seems to me however very old discussion to be. Please note how I can reactivate my LR. Am grateful for any

First, try unchecking the option Preferences > Performance > Use Graphics Processor:
If that doesn't help:
There are newer versions of the Radeon driver available. Unfortunately, many of these newer versions also have issues. You could try updating to the most recent driver to see if that helps. AMD has told Adobe they will be shipping a new driver that fixes the bug identified by Adobe, but I don't think that has happened yet.
See this bug report in the official Adobe feedback forum: Lightroom: Crashing with GPU acceleration on (AMD Radeon driver 17.4.4) | Photoshop Family Customer ... . If you add your me-too vote and follow the topic, you'll be notified of any changes in the status of the bug.
It's probably best to continue the discussion in that thread, since others with the same problem will be more likely to see your posts and contribute.
