[Tex/LaTex] Vertical align a tabular and tikz figure in a minipage

minipagetikz-pgfvertical alignment

How can I vertically align a tabular left to a tikz figure? With minipage without a vertical align option it looks good:
\begin{minipage}

The problem is that I need it aligned at top (for this I replaced \begin{minipage} with\begin{minipage}[t]) or bottom (\begin{minipage}[b]). In both cases, the tabular is shifted down:
\begin{minipage}[t]
\begin{minipage}[b
Here is my used code:

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\pgfplotsset{compat=1.9}

\begin{document}
\begin{minipage}[b]{0.45\textwidth}
\begin{flushright}
\hfill
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[xbar stacked,nodes near coords,

yticklabels={15–24, 25–34, 35–44, 45–54, 55–64, über 65},
every node near coord/.append style={font=\scriptsize, /pgf/number format/precision=0, /pgf/number format/fixed}
]
\addplot[fill=option1,draw opacity=0] coordinates
{ (57.8819,0)  (59.0849,1)  (58.2529,2)  (58.0773,3)  (53.3871,4)  (58.2525,5) };

\end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}
\hspace{3mm}
\end{flushright}

adjustbox is a useful package when you need to align or/and resize graphics or blocks of text. Next example shows how to solve your alignment problem
