Richard, thanks a lot! It worked very well. You're my favourite hecker! ;-) 

I adapted it to:

\renewenvironment{quote}
{\list{}{\setlength\leftmargin{0.7cm}}%
\item\relax}
{\endlist}

\renewenvironment{quotation}
{\list{}{\setlength\leftmargin{0.7cm}}%
\item\relax}
{\endlist}

Cheers and best wishes!

Markus
