Thank you. The problem is, that Lyx still produces errors. What could  
be the problem then?
This is the error-message:

error:
LaTeX Error: File `biblatex.sty' not found.

description:
  \bibliography
{<name of BibDesk-file>}^^M
*** (cannot \read from terminal in nonstop modes)

In the latex preamble I entered the following:
\usepackage{bibgerm} % Unterstützung für deutsche BibTeX styles
\usepackage{microtype} %Zuschaltung des Kernings
\usepackage[style=authoryear,natbib=true]{biblatex}
\bibliography{<name of BibDesk-file>}

for the bibtex-toc-index (bibtex-literaturverzeichnis) I use "plain"- 
style and database "articles"

Thanks again for your help! Best*
Jess
