How about:

\version "2.20.0"

global = { \key e \major \time 4/4 }

Up = { \change Staff = "upper" \stemDown }
Down = { \change Staff = "lower" \stemUp }

upperVoice = {
  \clef "bass"
  \global
  dis'4 e'4
  \clef "treble"
  gis'4
  fis'8. e'16
}

middleVoice = {
  a,16 dis16 \Up a16 b16
  \Down a,16 e16 \Up a16 b16
  %% get rid of the warning
  \once \override Beam.positions = #'(4 . 3)
  \Down b,16 fis16 \Up a16 b16
  \Down b,16 dis16 \Up a16 b16
}

bottomVoice = {
  fis,,4 e,4
  %% Move NoteColumns to get some free space
  %% TODO not sure why we need two overrides with different values
  \once \override PianoStaff.NoteColumn.X-offset = 2.5
  \once \override PianoStaff.NoteColumn.force-hshift = 1.5
  %% Let the Clef glide into the opened free space
  \once \override PianoStaff.Clef.X-extent = #'(0 . 0)
  dis,4 b,,4
}

lowerStaff = {
  \global
  \clef "bass"
  <<  \middleVoice \\ \bottomVoice >>
}

\score {
  \new PianoStaff = "Klavier"
    \with { \override StaffGrouper.staff-staff-spacing.stretchability = #1 }
    <<
    \new Staff = "upper" \upperVoice
    \new Staff = "lower" \lowerStaff
    >>
}
