Thank you again!

Yes, sorry, I have seen that, but as I looked for the database inside  
of Lyx I forgot, that I would have to enter it into the preamlbe also.  
The whole procedure is completely confusing for me, as I dont know the  
data management of my computer. Iīm normally just a user with no  
further interests in computers and programming, so this is really hard  
for me to understand.

And, honestly: I still donīt know what to enter. I tried two different  
versions, which both obviously donīt work:
\bibliography{/home/stefan/documents/Bibliographien/BibDesk/testbib}
and in german:
\bibliography{/home/stefan/Dokumente/Bibliographien/BibDesk/testbib}

here is he path as I would describe it
hd/user/stefan/Dokumente/Bibliographien/BibDesk/testbib

It also doesnīt work like this, but I donīt know how to enter it in a  
way, that Lyx could understand it.

I also donīt understand this example: Do you have a folder with the  
name "home", or is this a certain folder which exists on every OSX?

Does that mean, that I do not have to install every class I want to  
use separately? That would be great! Just choosing the module in  
document -> settings -> modules?

Thanks a lot, best*
