Thanks Maarten.

  The linked FAQ-answer suggests to modify the *.bst-file in a  
certain way. Unfortunately, it did not work for me. I still get:

Database file #1: PreussenMilit.bib
Your field is more than 5000 characters---line 1683 of file  
PreussenMilit.bib
: \item{3. Dep: r
:                heinisch-oranische Lande, Salz- und Postwesen}
I'm skipping whatever remains of this entry
(There was 1 error message)


from the console.
I then tried to include an external .tex-file via "\input...",  
however, the console told me "file xy not found" even though the file  
was in a subfolder of the texmf directory.

Cheers,
Alex
